One large curl in the back has been broken off entirely over the years, and another one near it has discolored.  Very minor splits or chips are noted on only a few of the curls.  The basketweaving itself is tight and I find no further damage.
The inside of the basket still retains the now-faded dyed green ash which was originally used to craft this basket.  The inside of the lid shows the same faded green color.  The outside of the basket has completely faded over time to a golden brown patina.
