Condition

 

Obvious cut out from a much larger piece at one time. I believe the sections at the top above the figure of the cherub are  a later addition and were meant to even out the overall appearance. There is a small hole above the cherubs forehead and next to it some worn exposed threads. In the cloth that surrounds his bottom you will see a few holes and worn threads.
