You are okay! This is just an in-situ reproduction /cast. The real one is well buried underneath.
Phew !
The whole outcrop ? even the foot ?
Yes. Covered over in 1978. Saving on the very predictable wear and tear on the originals.
"In 1978 the entire carved surface, except for the basin, was covered by a protective layer below a facsimile of artificial stone."
