Well... it's metal.... 
This sea turtle wall decor is NOT as nice as I hoped.  The picture makes it look really textured and 3-D, but in fact, it is very poor quality.  The finish work is not great.  The metal is thin and the texture is not as defined as it could be.  The painting and finish work are also not good.  The seal coat looks drippy and rushed.  Definitely not as nice as it looks in the picture and definitely NOT worth the full price shown.  Even the Black Friday sale price was high for the quality of the piece.  I'm going to keep it until I find something better to replace it with.  Disappointing.
