Condition

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The glass portion of the sculpture remains entirely intact. There are signs of minor wear and handling along the edges. The build-up and dripping of wax over the glass panes are inherent to the artist's working method. One of the edges of the wood portion of the sculpture has a significant chip missing below the "X" inscription. Unframed.
