Condition

There is a horizontal crack in the wood on approx. 9 cm, inherent to the aging process of the material. A quarter of the bowl presents with significant discoloration due to sun exposure. The box presents with a few surface scratches and a few tiny dents. There are a few rare cracks, inherent to the aging process of the material, including a larger one along the lower edge and the underside of the base (on approximately 8 cm) that presents signs of previous attempts of stabilization, partially visible in the catalogue illustration.
