拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

With some losses to the silk flowers and to the garments of the figures, as expected with age. Rope connecting to tightrope torn. With some losses to the silk in the central panel. Decoration refreshed in some areas. The painted base with some abrasions and with some refreshments to decoration. The glass dome with some light surface scratching.
