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.

With some restorations, including a restuck crack to where Zhuyi joins the rocky base; the head of Wen Chang has been restuck.
A few areas of minor restoration, including: the head of the ruyi sceptre, the hair of the horse; tips of two scholars' caps.
