Measuring 7.75 inches in both width and height with a depth of 0.25 inches, and weighing just over one pound, it has a satisfying presence. An open slot at the top allows for easy wall display. Unmarked but finely made, this medallion brings a touch of historic Americana character and artistry to any setting. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.
