Condition
Painted terracotta. UV examination reveals lines of fluorescence along the edges where the glaze has not been applied and spots in places to the composition where the glaze has been lost; these spots have possibly been lightly in-filled. There are two spots of possible paint loss to the central blue element. This work is in good overall condition.
