Condition

Professional repair and restoration to lid, with resurfacing and overpainting along new material and break lines; urn body is intact and excellent. Lid and body are not original to one another, however both are ancient and of the age stated. Minor pitting and abrasions, with areas of fire-darkening on lid, and softening to some finer details on lid. Great preservation to overall form of body given the size.
