Some nicks, chips, indentations, and abrasions commensurate with age as shown, as well as some bending to ears and crown and small perforation / area of loss to left side of base. Minor area of white pigment to verso and encrustations to interior. Otherwise, very nice with great remaining detail and impressive preservation of gilding. Rich patina to surface.
