Thought the wings would be a shell surface, like abalone or real shell, but it is painted metal.  Still looks nice.  Very lightweight and easy to hang on wall.  Using in bath next to curtains that have pieces of shell beads on them.  Blends well.  Shipped promptly and packaged very well.

Pros: Lightweight, easy to hang.
Cons: Painted metal - thought would be shell on wings from picture.
