There has been extensive worming to the sculpture in the past, and throughout the surface the resulting losses have been filled with wax. The Child's proper left arm and proper right forearm are lost. Further losses to the Child's toes, and more minor losses, including to the Virgin's crown, to her proper right sleeve and to the bottom of her hair on the proper right side. There is some stable splitting to the wood consistent with the material, some filled, notably at the Virgin's drapery in front of her legs. Very minor traces of polychromy, notably at the Virgin's lips. There is some dark varnish or paint in areas around the bottom of the composition and to the Virgin's hair. The bottom section is carved separately and is probably later due to extensive worming at the back towards the bottom. Otherwise the condition is good. There is a modern metal loop at the back.
