Height: Approximately 19 to 20 inches.
Both figures exhibit a dark, aged patina with areas of verdigris oxidation concentrated in the recessed details of the hair, beard, and scepters. Surface wear and scratches are present throughout, with the underlying brighter metal exposed on protruding areas such as the noses, knees, and shoulders. General surface pitting and casting imperfections are consistent with the manufacturing technique. The figures appear structurally sound with no visible breaks or repairs.
