There are two small repairs: one at the lower left edge measuring 1x1 cm, and a line running from the upper left corner measuring 2 cm. There are three tears: a 2 cm curving line towards the lower right corner, a 4 cm curving line towards the upper right corner and a 1 cm horizontal line towards the lower left corner. There are three flattened creases: one along the lower section of the right edge, one towards the centre of the upper edge and the last one in the lower section of the left edge. Apart from some time staining, this work is in stable condition.
