The panel is bowed with a split to the middle of the top edge, approx 9cm long. The gesso is missing along the lower portion of the border. There is also infilling to the raised border at the top. There is overpainting to the halos and small holes to suggest that metal halos may have once been present. The gilt to the top and sides looks to be later.
