Condition
All aspects of the construction appear sound. There are some light signs of wear to the back extreme edge of the construction, and a small, slight compression to the extreme bottom right corner, only visible upon extremely close inspection. There are one or two further slight rubs to the extreme pointed tips visible upon very close inspection. There are some very small instances of surface dirt and slight matter, and some extremely tiny instances of possible loss to the tip of the far right protruding element. This excepting the work is in overall very good condition.
Ultra violet light reveals some minor instances of fluorescence in keeping with the artist's materials and technique and do not suggest retouching.
