This work is in very good and stable condition overall. The tube shows evidence of striated discolorations, inherent. The metal bars show faint accretions, rust and oxidation throughout. The coyote skull is nearly entirely coated in resin, with the most noticeable exception being the proper left ear of the skull that is partially exposed. Upon close inspection, there is fine stable cracking in the resin, most noticeable in the proper left ear. There is a bristle embedded on the proper left eye region of the skull.
