Condition
The ceramic is sound. There is some dirt to the reverse and along the edges, and some light wear to the corners. The yellow slip around the edge of the tile has faded, consistent with ageing and the artist's process. There is a nail head sized chip to the upper right corner and a further small chip to the lower left corner. This work is in overall good condition.
