Condition

The fragile ruyi sceptre has been broken and sympathetically restored. The overall structure is mostly intact. There is some overprinting around the carefully restored breaks, including the middle and lower end of the shaft, barely visible with the naked eye. Smaller pieces of the head have been refixed and the restoration is clearly visible on the underside. The restoration includes infilling to the natural pitting.
