Please see attached images. Some general discolouration and grime. The garland with a few nibbles and chips, one of which appears to have been repaired; the very top of the dolce with some minor nibbles, yet displaying well. Her neck has some grittiness and a different tone of white, so there is some possible restoration there; it’s difficult to say.
