Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some light surface dirt in some of the recesses. Visible only upon very close inspection are some spots of light burnishing to the tips of some of the protruding elements and a few spots of oxidation isolated in places, both of which are characteristic of the artist's choice of medium.
