Summary FINE
Assessor HR
Notes Visually, the plaster cast looks in relatively poor condition due to the disolouration, patching and parts where the original plaster is exposed. However, the mask is structurally robust with no loose parts. The exposed plaster is very sensitive and in parts, is more exposed than others. There are nicks here and there, some around the ears and neckline, but it's hard to tell what is damage and what is from the original moulding.
