Use the complete view to connect Red-Mouth Fish Maw, Golden Coin Fish Maw and Spider Fish Maw with the exact product name and the visible markings on the fish maw item. Add the box, certificate or receipt only when it belongs to the same item.
Photographs and condition
Use a straight-on view when photographing full lot, each piece, both sides, thickness, cut texture, dimensions, weight and packaging labels. Keep the item and its packaging in the same photo sequence.
For the condition review, show dryness, oiliness, colour, fibres, insect damage, mould spots, odour and packaging. Separate visible condition from assumptions about age or rarity.
Storage, accessories and handover
Until Hong Kang advises the next step, keep every piece dry, cool and protected from insects. Do not wash, trim or rearrange the lot before it is photographed.
Where available, keep every piece with its original bag, label, receipt and weight information.
