The plaques are stunning. However, they are colored nothing like the picture. The calligraphy is black mounted on an almost black plaque; none of the gold/greenish hue in the picture. I will not be able to use them for the room they were purchased for, but do intend to keep them and place them elsewhere since they are so attractive.

The plaques compliment an Asian-theme room. They spark a lot of conversation and are a good value for the money.
