Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the costume is slightly deeper in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. All surface irregularities to the costume such as light creases to the fabric are inherent to its nature as a wearable piece. There is some wear to the mask in isolated places.
