Minor wear with several pinpoint associated losses, accretions and a few small cracks are occasionally to the corners and edges of the wooden box. A small crack is to the lower left edge and several hairline cracks are occasionally to the joints, presumably inherent to the construction. Several pinpoint accretions are visible occasionally throughout. A wooden element is free-floating within the box construction.

The condition of lots sold can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair, and wear and tear. The nature of the lots sold means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
