Condition Report

Overall excellent condition throughout, each element is free of any material losses, of apparent signs or restoration. The enameled steel base shows one area of enamel loss to the lower back edge of the base plate. Given the fragility and scale of the work, we would strongly suggest using a professional art handling company for packing, transport, and installation. Please see additional images.
