Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and scattered abrasions to the surface. The conjoined elements are stable and firmly attached. On the outer-most head on the right, there is an area along the back where the patina has dulled slightly presumably from wear. There are surface nuances in the area where the head on the lower-left joins the support, which appear original and inherent to the working method of the artist. There are traces of adhesive accretions on the rim and visible dust residue on the surface.
