Condition

There is a small media accretion to the top of the long horizontal arm. There are several very faint rub marks to the top edge of the oval section. There is a fine stable crack at the upper centre of the oval section and a small crack to the centre of the inside edge of the horizontal arm. The underside displays several faint rub marks.
