In fair overall condition but with the losses and wear that one would expect from carving of this age. There has been a build up of dirt, there is some fragmentation and chips to the edges and further losses to the carved decoration. First hand inspection is recommended. Some have traces of gilding. They have been applied with gesso which has concealed some of the depth of the carving.
