Tara- some wear to the gilding. Small losses to the tips of the flowers on either side. Some losses to the `jewelling'
Stand- of later date than the figure. Some wear to the gilding and some losses to the `jewelling'. The two posts and winged beast are more recent additions. Possibly something missing to the backplate at the top.
