Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection in raking light reveals a few faint and unobtrusive rub marks in isolated places. Close inspection reveals two minute losses to the left edge towards the lower left corner, and some minor wear to the upper right and lower left corner corner tips.
