Condition
The work is sound. There is some chipping to the edges and reverse of the tomette which are inherent in the nature of the found object. There is a loss to the pigment measuring 1/4 in. by 1/4 in. to the bull's chest (visible in the catalogue illustration). The work is in otherwise very good condition.
