I will describe each panel as best as I can from left to right. Please note that by 'wear' I mean, areas w some of the lacquer has been chipped/knicked and t are areas of minor scratching/light abrasions. The panels do need a thorough cleaning as they are quite dusty. I do not want to do this and risk ruining anything. I know that you're not supposed to re-finish/re-store antiques unless you know what you're doing... 1) Far left- T is some rear at the top right side and top right corner. 2) Next panel- W the woman as at the top holding the horse, t is some wear at the top left corner, and up the left side.
