Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality tends more towards dark brown in the original.

This work is in very good condition. Some light dust fibres have adhered in the recesses. Close inspection reveals a few shallow and unobtrusive scratches in places, and some light burnishing as well as a few unobtrusive nicks to the tips of the protruding elements.
