Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light and unobtrusive surface abrasions scattered throughout, which is to be expected of a wearable work from this period. There are two small dents, one to the front spiral, and one pinpoint dent to the small spiral on the underside, which appear to be the result of the artistic process.
*Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
