The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
-The badger group: there is a tiny chip to one of the badger's ears and a small bruise to the back of the same badger.
-The monkey and peach group: there are two small bruised areas which are probably associated with natural flaws within the stone.
-The horse and monkey group: there are a few minute nicks to the extremities, some of which may have been polished down slightly.
-All carvings: apart from the above and general age-related surface wear, these are in overall good condition.
