Gold, polished patina. There is some very minor pitting to the centre of the top of the composition which is probably inherent to the execution of the work. There are some minor verticle marks, possibly inherent to the execution process, to the top edge of the circle and to the bottom edge of the circle. Otherwise this work is in good original condition.
