Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. All elements are stable and intact. There are fine surface scratches, some light wear, and minor inconsistencies to the elements, consistent with the artist's working method and use of found materials. Under raking light there is evidence of a thin surface accretion on the top right round element in the interior of the right side box.
