Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There is evidence of light surface cracking on the top of the bag, around the knot. This has resulted in some minor losses to the patina. These are only visible under close inspection because they are located in the creases. There are scattered surface abrasions to the sides of the bags, which are also not noticeable unless inspected closely. The most significant surface abrasions are on the bottom surface.
