The plaque is 9 1/2" across & about 1/4" thick. I believe it's made from a resin type material & is quite heavy. The lettering at the top is a shaded orange & of course the ¿¿ Is red. The Bichon is well, Bichony coloring with that beautiful black nose! Purchased at Spoontiques & is called a stepping stone, but who would ever think of using it as that??? It has a hanging hook on the back. Condition is new, never used! Non smoking home. Would make a wonderful gift for any Bichon lover!
