The plaque is topped off with a hand-rubbed medium rosewood finish.

Customer Reviews
I have been into Asian decor since 1980 and have many pieces. This wall plaque is beautiful, well made and goes with my rosewood furniture very well. I would highly recommend it if you like this type of home decoration. The only problem that I have is that the price is too high.
The rosewood plaque looks great from a distance & appears to be of higher quality. The brass hanger adds authenticity to the piece.

It was very nice indeed, although I truly wish that it could have been a tad bit larger.

The piece was ok. It looks a bit cheap, at first glance I thought it was plastic and priced to high. It was smaller than I expected. I framed it and it made all the difference. It didn't have any presence by itself.

Lovely, well made piece. Enhances Asian theme nicely. Although I knew its size when I made the purchase, for the money, I would like to have had one a bit larger. Overall, pleased with the plaque.
