Condition

Background and frames later. Chipping and small losses throughout and age cracks consistent with age of object. Some cracks filled and stabilized. Areas of refreshed paint, particularly where paint has chipped. Several areas of early and later paint. Could use some attention from a restorer but very well carved.
