拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。
We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its manufacture.

-a few nicks to the edges
-a short crack to the tail of one chilong
-some inclusions and fissures in the stone, inherent to the material
-expected wear to the metal components; a perforated hole to one end, probably later
Box and cover:
-a few nicks to the edges and relief decoration
-a crack extending from one side to the center of the plaque on top
