The washers are in overall good condition with the exception of minute nibbles to the extremities, the lotus leaf washer with a small bruise to the base, the other washer with a chip to one side of the exterior and a small bruise to the base. Both with some natural inclusions and fissure in the stone. Slightly more celadon in colour than that illustrated in the catalogue.
