Condition
All items have had no repairs or restoration. The pigments on the smallest Waigan are flaking and are in need of consolidation and the pigments are lost in other areas; the other barks have other areas of pigment loss, scuffs and markings. The pigments on the slate are faded and worn and the surface on the angum is crazed throughout, though in relatively stable condition.
