The oblong domed plaque is in good condition with natural inclusions to the stone, it is glued into the top of the box so we are unable to comment on the condition of the underside fo the plaque, the second plaque carved with a dragonfly again appears to be in good condition, again inset into the top of the box so the underside of the carving has not been examined for condition.
