Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the white tones are not apparent in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to convey the true depth of the original work.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is light wear to all four corner tips. There is a tiny loss to the extreme left edge (approximately 6 cm. below the upper left corner) and a tiny indentation to the lower centre of the lower left quadrant. There is a minute indentation and associated loss to the right edge (approximately 20 cm. below the upper right corner). Examination under ultra-violet light reveals a small spot of restoration to the right extreme edge (20 cm. below the upper right corner), and another 30 cm. beneath this.
