03.21.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 234: I note that the mask is presently intact with typical minor paint losses around the edges commensurate with age, as well as having dirt/ debris build up within carved crevices, there is surface wear concentrated to the horns, and the red paint on the face is overall well-preserved, there is a minor split to the hair, and one ear has been reattached with faintly visible adhesive
