Under close inspection, there are pinpoint scattered brown accretions visible most notably on the center top edge just below the mat, there is a crease at the upper left corner approximately 4-inches from the left edge and there is a crease to the right of the top bow of the shoe. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the top edge. Framed under glass.
