Attached is the conservation report from I.C.R. (Investigación, Conservación, Restauración de obras de arte) (Research, Conservation, and Restoration of Works of Art), which records its formal characteristics and its state of conservation, hereby transcribed: "An original sculpture carved in walnut wood, with remnants of original tempera polychromy (ermine band and flesh tones)  It represents St Mary Magdalene dressed in rich garments, wearing a diadem in her hair, and holding the ointment jar (a usual iconographic attribute). Rigid and stylised, its beauty lies in the elegance of its refined forms. The classical cut of the head is undeniable, fully inspired by Roman art. As if it were a funerary sculpture, it combines Italian and French influences in its Mannerism." Exhibitions: - Exhibition in Palau March, Palma de Mallorca, 2003.
