Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer magenta undertones in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a few small specks of loss to some of the tips of the protruding elements, two of which are visible in the catalogue illustration. Very close inspection reveals some superficial surface dirt in some of the recesses.
