Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the yellow is less intense and closer to a natural light wood colour in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensionality of the object and the texture of the wood.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are very minor nicks and rub marks throughout as to be expected with the nature of the medium. There is a very faint water mark on the back side of the sculpture on the figure's skirt on the right. Surface dirt has collected in the crevices and recessed parts of the work.
