06.01.2026- In my opinion regarding: LOT 1150- please note I am not an expert on Huichol art, the work is framed under what appears to be a protective plexi?? cover, it was examined in frame, I do not know how or if it is mounted or the condition within the work, in my opinion, the colors are vibrant in my opinion, however again, I am not an expert, I have also included blacklight images for your review, there is light debris noted in the upper right quadrant, some minor possible insect damage, very sparse, noted in the upper left, otherwise I note some slight fraying, minor picks, and light wear, cover shows some surface abrasions along the lower section, frame has tape remnants throughout, it is worn, there is a small woodloss along the back edge, overall no major apparent loss noted
