7.11.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 3513- the pair were examined on the wall, they are decorative in nature, the mounts (likely resin) emulating soapstone, the pair are overall intact, the one with the female figure has a few minute small abrasions along the bottom edge of frame,  mounts on both show some light surface wear/abrasions, all minor, they are present throughout and display what is likely intentional distressing to emulate stone (faux fissures, imperfections, etc), overall no major loss or wear observed
