Very Good. (N/A). Stem has been repaired. Wear. Some stain and general marks. Translation of the phrase on one side seems to be "Necessity knows no law" or similar. The face on the figure seems very deliberate so I assume this has a particular political or popular culture connection from when it was made. Great piece. Estimate: $50-100
