Condition Report:
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the edges and corners. Upon close inspection, and most visible under raking light, there are faint surface scratches visible on the surface, most notably in the upper right corner. The front and back resin panels have discolored faintly with time and are slightly misaligned but appear secure. Unframed.
