Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The polyester resin has yellowed slightly over time. The surface texture of the back face of the work is slightly rough and uneven. The edges and joints are not flush at some points and there is evidence of the adhesive used to join the edges. There are faint scattered surface scratches throughout. A few internal variations in the polyester are noted, due to the artist's working method and choice of medium. The work is accompanied by metal stand measuring 5 1/4 by 18 by 4 in.
