The figure pictured is the first figure from the Dancing Hours relief, one of Wedgwood's most popular designs. In this case, she is shown distributing flowers as she is a depicted as a single figure. The relief has great depth and is quite detailed. It is clean and crisp with the exception of a small firing crack that can be seen in the photo under the figure's toes.

It is a simple dark wood frame with a gold mat that has an oval cutout for the plaque. Adding the frame will, of course, increase the weight by approximately one pound.
