Condition
This work is in two parts: the resin head and the silk pillow embroidered with the artists name and year of execution. The resin head is in excellent condition with imperfections inherent to the medium and artist's technique. The pillow exhibits two small stains to the upper left, one small faint stain to the lower right, and one small stain to the left area of the embroidery. The left seam of the pillow has a few areas of fraying in the center part. Overall, the piece is in very good condition.
