Notes on Material


Comments on Condition
The paper mache in some areas shows some signs of possible lifting, which is inherent to the materials and methods in which they were applied. Some extremely minor amount of dust has settled on the work over time, and the paper may be showing some very slight discolouration due to the inherent properties of the material.
