Condition Report
Some inconsistencies with the wax overlay, with some areas appearing to be missing (i.e. not covering the paint), notably to the yellow jacket. Some surface indentations visible on close inspection (see photos), but these are possibly intentional as the work has a slight 3D effect. Frame with some wear and scuffs in places.
