Condition Report
In almost entirely excellent condition, with beautifully intricate and detailed carving all round. Please refer to the image that has a (red) circled area that seems to have a small loss of, possibly, a little section of grass. There does not appear to be anything else of issue, though additional photographs have been added that allow vision of every aspect.
