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 the changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
- appears to be overall good condition
- a minor flaw/dent to shoulao's forehead
- a minor small patch or irrgularity to the proper right side of the robe which appears to be original to manufacture
- the antler is a bit loose
- some expected minor wear and surface scratches, particularly to where shoulao rests on the stag's body
