Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is extensive surface soiling throughout. All of the elements are intact, but due to the nature and alteration of the materials by the artist, the work is fragile. The hinged game board is not secured to restrict bending. There are inconsistencies to the surface and materials, due to the artist's working method.
