Overall in good, decorative and sound condition. The stone with natural inclusions, light surface wear and minor abrasions, consistent with age and handling. With typical scattered small nicks, 'nibbles' and minor losses primarily to the edges. Each of the ram supports with some small scattered restorations, including a small loss to the interior corner of one base; on that same base, a repaired break to one ram's nose with associated small loss to the center and some infilled repairs; the other base with a repaired crack along the interior side, now with associated infill; and on that same base, a small loss to the top of one ram's ear. The base of each support with some discoloration and pitting, likely as a result of exposure to moisture.
