Condition

Intact. Minor horizontal cracks from dry climate in antiquity but stable as the plaque is affixed to a plaster backing; other minor cracking, chips, and incrustations throughout. The bone has signs of flecking and a porous surface, no signs of Schreger lines. The breaks around the edges are clean, most likely from when it was affixed to plaster. The plaster backing is inscribed "RIEFSTAHL" in pencil on back. Height with stand 5 inches; old Sotheby's sale room label affixed to underside of metal stand. Overall fine stable condition.
