Condition
The terracotta appears sound and the surface is a nicely textured pinkish orange. There are small spots of fluorescence, possibly retouching, visible under UV light to the proper right woman feet and a dot of fluorescence to the wowan proper left feet. There are handling marks consistent with age and handling, some superficial dust to the crevices and a few minor surface scratches in places. This work is in overall good condition.
