Condition

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There are a few unobtrusive scratches and extremely minor abrasions scattered throughout. Under extremely close inspection, there is a minor spot accretion approximately 1.5-inches above the left opening. The cracking visible under raking light, discolorations, and other imperfections on the surface appear inherent to the artist’s working method and chosen medium.
