L'opera è in condizioni buone e stabili ed è appoggiata a una base in legno con supporto metallico di dimensioni 22 x 29 x 29 cm. Il teschio è composto da due elementi a incastro in corrispondenza della mandibola. Sono visibili alcune tracce di colla, coerenti con la tecnica d'esecuzione. Piccole cadute di materia alla sinistra del naso. Esaminata alla luce ultravioletta, non presenta tracce evidenti di restauri. Tenuto conto di quanto sopra, è nostra opinione che l'opera sia in condizioni di conservazione molto buone.
The work is in good and stable condition and is leaning on a wooden base with metal support measuring 22 x 29 x 29 cm. The skull is composed by two interlocking elements corresponding to the jaw. Some glue residues are visible in places, in keeping with the artist's chosen method. Small material losses to the left of the nose. When examined under ultraviolet light, there is no indication of inpainting. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
