Condition
Good condition overall, with wear typical for an object of this age and type and use within the tradition context. Some wear, chips, nicks, and minor losses throughout, as partially visible in the catalogue illustration. Some pinholes as a result of old insect damage. Ochre and white pigments retain good vibrancy; traces of white pigment to the reverse.
