Good antique condition. The stones show expected signs of age and use. The green stone exhibits significant surface abrasions, minor edge chipping, and wear to the incised script. The orange carnelian and red jasper stones have minor flea bites along their faceted edges and light surface scratches. The carvings remain generally legible.
