Surface

The surface of the resin has light to moderate scratches and scuffs across all sides. Of note is a long curved scratch in the lower-right of the top surface with parallel curved scratches above in the middle-right. Scuffs and scratches on the plastic surfaces of the pen and pen setting.

Notes

Surface is very soft and prone to scratches from minimal contact with a hard object.
