Condition

This work is in very good condition. There is a superficial layer of dust to the protruding elements inside the box. Very close inspection reveals some wear and associated losses to the lower back corners and in a few places to the front face of the box. Although the work fluoresces unevenly when examined under ultraviolet light no restoration is apparent.
