Note: Condition Review
There is evidence of consolidation in areas on the clay core near foil edges, perhaps to secure foil to core. Consolidant is failing. Pale green corrosion powder, very fine, sitting on clay surface in localized areas. There are remanats of soil on the gold surface in patches in localized areas. There are areas of loss of the foil and it is wrinkled and torn. The foil is lifting in many places. The underside of the object is unsheathed. The clay shows many fine shrinkage cracks.
Note: Housing Notes
Rebagged in polyethylene ziplock bag with Tyvek tag insert. A ring was formed of volara secured with hot melt glue and placed in the bag surrounding the object as protection.
