Condition
The board is sound and affixed to a wooden mount for display in shadow-box style frame. The surface texture is finely worked and wonderfully varied. The extreme outer edges of the board show some raised imperfections visible to the naked eye. Under UV light: these outer edges fluoresce and appear to have been retouched. The upper right corner also fluoresces, though the entire surface is covered with a thick layer of varnish and this varnish prevents a conclusive analysis. The work is in overall good condition.
