Nice large piece...dont be fooled this was pretty heavy to work with...I made it a cover for an old wall cabinet I had and it came out perfectly...it was a little more than I wanted to spend but I dont think I could find something this unique anywhere else...it is very dark so u probably want it in a room that gets light or put a light on it...it is all metal...not just the mermaid the whole thing is and the edges are like rolled like wrapped canvas but metal.
