losses simply need to be consolidated. Although no restorations are visible
under ultraviolet light, when the picture is cleaned, there will be retouches

restorations in the brow of the child and probable restorations in the darkest

to properly gauge the condition, but presumably there are older restorations
perhaps associated with the cracking. However, the condition is encouraging
enough to recommend cleaning and retouching accordingly.
