Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the light grey is slightly lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection in raking light reveals some very shallow and unobtrusive surface scratches in several places along the extreme outer edges. Further very close inspection reveals a few media accretions that have deposited in the recesses.
