Condition

The figure and mandorla are in overall good condition, with just general demoting and minor surface wear. As seen in the catalogue photo, there is extensive corrosion and rubbing to the gilding on the repousse mandorla. Hardstones flanking the throne are possibly replaced. The mandorla is quite dented.
