Condition
Colour:
The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although fails to fully convey the reflective quality of the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some unobtrusive and faint rubmarks in isolated places to the exterior Plexiglas. Extremely close inspection reveals a minor rub mark to the central circle on the right hand edge.
