Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is surface soiling and staining throughout. There are two white surface accrestions 15 inches and 8 1/4 inches in length on the black element. There are scattered accretions on the middle bulbous element. There is a 8 inch crack in the surface of the black element between two of the bulbous elements. There is extenstive scattered bubbling to the surface of the black element, which appears to be inherent to the medium.
