Condition

Aside from some minor chipping to the paint on some high points, the only notable larger blemish is a worm spot at the center of the green pasture at 6-o-clock. This looks as though water dripped onto that spot for an extended period, wearing away the paint and plaster to create an eroded divot about half an inch deep on the top surface and another smaller area of loss along the bottom edge. A chip on the top left corner has been repaired and a smaller piece is of the top right corner. Still displays very well!
