Top of the crown: On the upper left tip of the upright crown, a small point is missing. The bare wood is visible here due to the chipped/dark paint finish (see circled photos).
Bottom point: At the outermost bottom of the pointed tip there is a light damage/wear where the dark finishing layer has disappeared (see circle on photo).
Figure 2 (1 meter, Polychrome/Gold): A larger wall sculpture of the same depiction, but executed in polychrome (colored) wood with gold-colored, red and black accents. The facial features are prominently painted with a dot (bindi) on the forehead.
Top of the headpiece: At the top of the black/dark red rear part of the headpiece there is a small damage where the paint layer has been worn away or bumped, revealing a light/white spot (see circled on photo 4).
