Condition

In overall good condition. With minor wear and surface abrasions to the top, consistent with age. Small restorations and infill with possible replacements of small marble fragments. The right side shows evidence of restoration with paint and colored resin. However this is not immediately visible. There are traces of fintersperced filled holes along the border which would suggest previous mounts.
