Condition
Overall the condition of the panel is very good, with minor dirt and wear to the surface consistent with age. There is wear to the paintwork throughout. There is minor non-active worming to the wood. There is some splitting to the wood, consistent with the material, including a larger partially-restored split running through the centre of the panel from top to bottom. There are some small areas of paint restoration to the carving. There are one or two small losses to the carving. The panel has been neatly mounted on a piece of modern board.
