This work is in excellent condition overall. The gold leaf applique is extremely delicate, and per the artist's direction, the work should only be handled under caution with gloves. In certain areas, under very close inspection, the gold leaf is slightly lifting. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.

“I am so in love with the process of making. The joy and pain of it all; it’s just so rich. It’s a luxury, a privilege to be a little part of that bigger machinery of making.” Jim Hodges
