Condition

The board is stable. Examination under UV light reveals small spots of retouching, predominantly to the blue water as well as along the right edge. There is a possible repaired loss and two small losses with some associated retouching to the upper part of the right edge. There is a spot of paint loss to the lower part of the right edge and the upper right corner as well as to the lower centre which appears to be associated to some stable craquelure. There are fine lines of stable craquelure throughout. This wok is in overall good condition.
