In generally good condition, with wear and very slight loss to the corners; some surface dirt. There appears to be some areas, particularly near the corners, where the piece has been touched up. There is also an area near the center-right where the paint sheen is slightly different than the surrounding area. There are extremely small chips in some areas, particularly near the edges. There is paint loss in several areas on the frame. Merchandise will be packed and transported by the purchaser at their own risk and expense.
