Condition
This piece was examined under glass. There appears to be minor paint loss within the orange headdress of the left-hand figure. A water stain is present in the gray area near the ear of the left-hand figure. Faint brown spots appear in the gray and pink areas of the mid-section of the right-hand figure. Under UV-light, small water stains appear near the right-hand figure. Overall, the piece is in very good condition.
