Condition
There is restoration to the upper tip of the left wing of one swan, possibly covering a break or chip/s along the edges; the restoration is very well done and it is difficult to determine the full extent of the underlying damage.
The other swan has some restoration to several tips of the rushes on the base; otherwise it is in generally good condition.
