Condition Report:
This work is in good condition. The ceramic is sound. A crack runs horizontally through the center of the ceramic with some associated losses. This crack appears inherent to the firing process and has been repaired on the reverse. There is a fine layer of surface dirt, a chip to the lower left corner. There is a large chip to the right edge of the reverse which is possibly inherent to the plaque.

Provenance:
Estate of the artist
