The "World Map" is exactly what I was expecting.  There are 14  3" plywood boards that are 3/8" thick roughly pinned to a 3/4" frame.  The stain color is grays and warm browns across the boards.  The map is black with some of the letters being a little darker and the world is a little smudged here and there.  I think that all lends to the rustic charm of this piece.
