OVERALL CONDITION |
a good and certainly genuine example, not over polished so has a pleasing colour, very slight wear. |
FAULTS |
both of the tiny lugs linking the pairs of scrolls to the central spine have fractured. A simple, inexpensive if delicate repair that does not need to be done in my opinion. |
