Tous les éléments semblent être présents. La structure de l’œuvre est en bonne condition. Le système électrique fonctionne. La surface est légèrement encrassée et poussiéreuse. Quelques traces de manipulation, griffures superficielles et traces de frottement, pour certaines associées à des manques de matière, sont visibles par endroits sur la surface. Sous réserve de ce qui précède, selon notre opinion, l'œuvre est en très bon état général de conservation.
