Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is much brighter and more vibrant in the original and the colour of the handle tends more towards a sand colour.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are several patches of adhesive residue towards the top and on the lid of the plastic tube. There are several hairline scratches within the tube, probably caused by the cut-out figures impacting with the plastic internally. There are two further internal hairline scratches that span the length of the handle only visible in a raking light.
