Condition
Lovely white marble; the marble is stable. There are two repaired chips to the protruding points. Otherwise examination under UV reveals no signs of restoration. There are tiny scattered naturally-occurring inclusions, where some dirt has gathered, and some light handling marks to the surface. This work is in overall good condition and might benefit from a clean.
