Yes there are damages to the dress but this is not uncommon as they are fragile and this has suffered in a Western setting of commercial trade that did not appreciate its fragility.The dress itself is not of a low standard however. The sarong is delicately carved from a high grade timber resembling tiger stripes. The pendok shows crisp detailing. The black coating resembles black enamel. It is a perfect fit. The mendak is set with either cut glass or stone with facets. It seems more than reasonable to me.
