Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Visible only upon very close inspection in raking light, there are a few faint and unobtrusive handling marks, spots of oxidisation and very thin abrasions isolated in places. Close inspection reveals some light dust which has settled in the recesses.
