There are artist's pinholes in the top two corners and the edges of the sheet are unevenly cut. There is light wear at the extreme corners and along the edges. There are a few scattered, faint creases to the sheet, most noticeably at the top right edge. The paper collage elements are intact and under close inspection there is evidence of some scattered, minor losses in the beaded collage sections. Framed under Plexiglas.
