Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. Under very close inspection, scattered unobtrusive surface scratches and handling marks are visible, most notably 3 white scratches on the right lateral edge, 2 1-inch scratches on the left lateral edge and some minor pinpoint indentations along the diagonal edge. Under raking light, a horizontal inconsistency below the surface of the resin is visible on the right lateral edge and some pinpoint faint black spots appear to be under the resin and also from the time of execution.
