Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the green is deeper and more vibrant in the original.
Condition: There are several paint losses and scratches to the surface in isolated places, particularly to the upper protruding element, and signs of wear along the edges. Some of the screws have loosened, and light dust fibres have settled in the recesses. There is a white paint splatter to the edge of the sculpture, which is possibly original. There is a crack to the vertical protruding element on the side, where the wood has split.
