Solid and unique piece with great color and detail. I especially like the three scrolls at top, two of which would be used for hanging purposes. Also, the stars at the base of each hook is a nice touch. Would make a wonderful addition to any military or aviation collector and or durable enough to enjoy in your daily routine.
