拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
- The ends of the tail's hanging feathers have been chipped and polished.
- There are a few nicks to the edges and extremities, some of which have possibly been polished.
- The ends of the wings have possibly been polished.
- There are some natural flaw lines (possibly few minute hairline cracks) within the stone.
- There are some natural cloudy inclusions within the stone.
The carving with general age-related surface wear as can be expected.
