Condition Report
The majority of the lace appears to be in a good condition, but there are a few small areas of losses/breakages to: the rear of the bonnet, lower right and lower left edges of her yellow cloak, one 1cm wide section to the lower reverse edge of her purple shall and to one side of the hood. Otherwise, the figure is in a good condition with no further cracks, chips, damages or repairs. Please see the additional images for some of the most significant losses to the lace detail.
