Condition
Attractive brown-green patina. There is some slight discoloration to this patina in places, notably visible to the round element. There is some minor wear to the most protruding elements, consistent with age and handling, some dust in the crevices and a few dots of minor foxing to the reverse of the central element. This work is in overall very good condition.
