The sheet is hinged at the upper corners to the backing board. The sheet has shifted slightly in tone, most notably along the edges. Wear, creasing, hairline scratches, pinpoint losses and discoloration are intermittently to the edges, corners and occasionally to the interior of the sheet.

A few pinpoint spots of lifting and losses are to the gold leaf.
