Condition
There is light wear to the exterior of the handmade box, including some scattered surface abrasions, light surface scratches and a few very minor partial losses along the edges. The glass is slightly loose. Hairline craquelure is visible throughout the white painted areas, inherent to the artist’s intent. Under close inspection, a loose element can be heard moving in the construction that is not in view.
