Small but stable areas of lifting to the lacquer layer are scattered to the edges; a small loss to the lacquer layer is to the upper right corner tip and a larger loss to the lacquer layer is to the lower right corner with a hairline crack.

Two associated cracks are to the central dent, likely in keeping with the artist's working method, and another hairline incision is to the lower left in a grey painted passage.
