This work is in very good condition overall. There is wear and minor losses to the surface and edges of wood element in various places, due to the artist's working method. The wood's surface is intentionally irregular, with some minor chips, varied pigment application, charred edges. There is light wear to the patina on the bronze hanging elements and some abrasions to the coconut , also due to the artist's working method. There are some minor white accretions within the recesses of one pinecone.
