Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three dimensionality of the work apparent in the original.

This work is in very good condition. On close inspection, there are some light fine superficial scratches and light tarnishing scattered throughout. Some minor oxidisation has occurred in the recessed areas. There are a few light handling marks to the side edges.
