Condition

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The two pieces of glass are securely bound together by wires which have rubbed onto the glass at some points of contact. There are scattered light abrasions to the etched glass, revealing the smooth layer underneath. There is evidence of wear and handling along the edges including a minor nick at the upper left flat edge which is only observable from above.
