Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is a band of light discolouration running across the width of the sculpture, as well as a few further small isolated instances of discolouration elsewhere. A small (1 cm. approximately) scratch is visible on close examination to the inside of the tray at the centre of the lower short edge (according to the catalogue illustration). Along three of the edges there is lifting to the top section where the solder join has deteriorated. There are black imperfections to the metal surface throughout, inherent to the medium.
