Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensionality of the sculpture apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are a few scattered handling marks and light wear in places to the vertical metallic strips. Upon close inspection, there is some scattered wear below the centre of the extreme right edge and in the bottom two corners of the frame.
