In 1992 it was restored by Mel Knowles of South Coast Fine Arts, Santa Barbara. After restoration, the sculpture was loaned to and installed in El Presidio de Santa Barbara State Historic Park in April 1992. The sculpture's base, its third, was designed for the Presidio site by Henry Lenny and created by Santa Barbara Stone. The restoration and the base construction were funded by the City of Santa Barbara.
