Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the grey tends more towards metallic silver in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey fully the three dimensionality and optical surface of the relief apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some evidence of light wear, including a few minor abrasions and tiny rub marks, in places along the lower and upper extreme edges. On very close inspection, there are a few further minute abrasions and short fine scratches in isolated places elsewhere to the relief, notably a short fine surface scratch towards the top right corner. A tiny spot of oxidisation is visible at the centre of the top extreme edge.
