There are a number of losses, including to St Clare's drapes and proper left hand, and to St Francis' sleeves and habit. There are smaller chips to each of the bases. St Rose's head appears to be reattached. There are further restorations to the figures, including to the book held by St Anne. The reverse of each figure is open with a drill hole at the top. There is wear to the polychromy, which may also have been refreshed at some point.
