Outsider Art

The top figure in the diorama has both "hands" broken off. They are actually circular designs. They are both with the work but are separated. There is a small amount of separation on a few figures where the wood veneer has split off from the main wood section, whether its on feet or other body parts. There are also various splits in the wood grain but this is all natural with time and age. There is some adhesive residue on the left side of box. It is from packing tape. Does not interfere with artwork. The figure in the coffin does still work with the crank on the right side of the box. Overall this work is in good and stable condition.
