Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original. The illustration also fails to convey the optical effect of the protruding elements.
Condition: This work is in good condition. There is minor wear to all four corner tips and in places along all four extreme edges. There is further wear to several of the protruding tips and oxidation to several of the recessed nails. No restoration is apparent under ultra-violet light.
