In fair to good decorative condition commensurate with age and use of the piece, wear and bunching to some areas -making it look like there are little clumps of thread in some places, there is one gape/very little hole to the bottom right of the robe, there appears to have been some repairs, to the face of the figure, colours are good and the overall look is attractive, the outer thread between the fragment and the velvet is of a later date, the velvet in good condition with very minor fading and dust and dirt to the surface.
