Overall, the inro appears to be in good order. It bears the typical age-related marks and surface wear commensurate with age. The string has been replaced. There is a noticeable loss of gilding to one side and to the base. Abrading to some edges, in particular where the string runs through the body and to some of the interior rims. Small indentations present to the body.
