Condition
This work is in very good and sound overall condition overall. There is surface soiling of the silk fabric, but this appears to be inherent to the original condition of the work at time of creation. The ropes and strings used to wrap the package are in good health and show minimal signs of fraying. There are scattered surface accretions. This work is displayed within a box under Plexiglas.
