On the right panel: An indent with a paint loss has been carefully restored - located 27 cm from the lower edge and 60 cm from the right edge. A superficial wear at the extremity of the lower left corner is visible under close inspection. On the left panel: A pinhead sized hole located 67 cm from the lower edge and 65 cm from the left edge is only visible under very close inspection. This work is in excellent condition.
