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.
This scroll shows some discoloration to the blue field whilst the gold pigments remain strong overall. the first 5in. (12.8cm.) of the scroll are the most damaged by this discolouration, probably caused by exposition to humidity. There are further visible droplets marks and light overall staining consistent with the age of the lot.
