Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There are minute holes in the wood, which appear inherent to the medium. The overall surface tonality is slightly irregular and varied, presumably due to the natural wood grain. There are some scattered surface abrasions, particularly to the base that are visible under close inspection.
