Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the green is lighter and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few spots of burnishing to some of the protruding elements, and evidence of light wear with a small number of associated specks of loss in places to the extreme edges. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
