It looks pretty much exactly the way it does in the picture in person. The leaves are painted to look like old copper, having gold tones and stripes of bluish green. It looks beautiful in our forest-themed bathroom and picks up the green from the other pieces. Shipping packaging was definitely subpar; I'm shocked it made it to us in one piece. Additionally, the rings  from which you are supposed to hang this from are in a horrible position towards the front of the piece. We had to go out and buy extra long nails just to hang this one piece. I was hoping that the nails the piece is hung from would be a little more hidden.
