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。
We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
- there appears to be an area of restoration to the bottom of the vessel
- possible break to one leg
- chips to the legs and other extremities, as can be seen in the illustration
- malachite and some area of wart-like corrosion, as can be seen in the illustration
- there are flattened, reddish-brown areas in the taotie masks band, which are probably the result of over cleaning and repatination.
