Overall good condition with scuffs, scratches, and dust accumulation commensurate with age. Six feathers of headdress with chipped losses, one retained with the lot, and one with repair. As well, the end of the bow with chipped loss. Underside with some moisture staining, obscuring the title, signature, and other marks. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
