Condition

This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There are some inconsistencies to the weave of the silk, and some faint runs to the silk, but this is consistent with the age of the work and nature of the medium. There are few faint fox marks on the work. There is some possible discoloration due to age. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no sign of restoration as viewed. Framed, under plexi glass.
