Condition
This wall relief is in excellent condition overall. The work consists of seven elements with an understructure for attaching to the wall. The multiple ``s'' curved element that is painted half orange/white and half green has two minor areas of paint loss (1 x ½ in. and ¾ in.) near the right end. There is also very minor scattered paint loss on the egg-shaped green element in the background of the upper half, which is not visible when the work is installed.
