拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

Overall in good condition, and ready to place. With typical light scattered surface wear, faint marks and minor scratches. With natural inclusions, minor 'nibbles' and nicks to the stone, primarily at the extreme edges, as to be expected. With some very minor repairs, including to the corner of one of the giallo antico plinths and to the corner of one of the bases, not readily noticeable. The corners with some visible seams, possibly as a result of old restoration, well executed. The mounts with light rubbing and minor oxidation. One of the mounts slightly loose in place but secure. Present very well overall.
