Condition
Structurally sound.
There are some very minor scuffs, scratches, nicks and nips visible to the body of the work, inherent with the nature of the wood and the technique of the Artist, including to the extreme edges and corners. There are also very minor traces of slight surface dirt, dust and matter visible upon close inspection. There are areas of slight infilling which may be in keeping with the Artist's technique. This excepting the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
The work is formed of two parts.
