The group is in overall good condition with the exception to small fritts and chips to the raised parts of the carving, the largest ca. 0.5cm to the left brow of the largest beast. The stone is an even celadon colour with some russet veins running through it (visible in the catalogue illustration), more celadon and less bluish than the illustration suggests. The wood stand probably associated.
