Condition

As visible in the catalogue photo, the tip of the mandorla is bruised, with a loss of approx. 1cm. There is bruising to the edge of the mandorla, and other general surface wear throughout. Minor rubbing to the gilding, and malachite-green oxidisation to the surface, especially the reverse and lower part of the plinth, obscuring some of the inscription.
