Condition
Overall the condition of the terracottas is very good with minor dirt and wear to the surfaces consistent with age. There are a few small losses to the reverses: lower right corner of the Last Supper relief and top edge of the Pieta relief. There is wear to the far left figure's beard and raised hand in the Last Supper and a small chip to the drapery of the figure in the foreground opposite Christ. There is general wear to the wood frames including minor chips to the gilt gesso decoration and non-active worming.
