CONDITION
Good vintage/pre-owned condition. The interior handmade paper elements, vibrant dimensional layers, and front acrylic remain beautifully preserved, intact, and free of color fading. The structural outer frame shows age-appropriate wear and has a crack along one outer side; however, this wear is completely unnoticeable when viewed directly from the front and does not impact display value.

Please review all photos carefully for additional condition details. Vintage and pre-owned art, mirrors, and wall decor may show age-appropriate wear that is part of their history and character. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests for additional photos or measurements.
