Condition

The bark has been pierced four times in the upper margin for attachment and the holes have split to the edge and has been pierced five times in the lower margin for attachment. There are very few areas of pigment loss and the remaining pigments and bark appear stable. It looks as though the entire bark has been treated with some sort of matt fixitive which has darkened the pigments and the ground outlining them. It has been attached to two wooden supports with silicon from behind
