Condition

This work is in good condition overall. Minor losses are intermittently present along the extreme edges; the most noticeable of these is present on the upper edge of the semicircular element near the base of the work. A white scuff measuring approximately ½ inch in length is present on the upper side of this semicircular element. Additional scattered surface scratches and isolated discolorations are present; these discolorations measure no more than ¼ inch in diameter and are concentrated on the outward-facing side of the uppermost curved element of the work.
