Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration ate fairly accurate, although the white contains fewer green undertones in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the animated nature and sound from the original work.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition and in full working order. Close inspection reveals a few faint handling marks to the edges of painted metal board, and some wear with an associated speck of loss to the lower left corner tip. Very close inspection reveals evidence of light wear and handling to the metal elements in places, which is consistent with the medium's natural ageing process.
