IT MEASURES 8 1/4 INCHES LONG X 4 1/4 INCHES WIDE. I JUST HUNG IT UP WITH A DRYWALL SCREW BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY BLACK IN COLOR AND LONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE PIECE INTO THE WALL. THE CAST IRON PIECE IS ATTACHED TO THE GOLD HOOP WITH A FINIAL TYPE PIECE. IT MAKES THE HOOP STICK OUT FROM THE WALL BY 1 INCH. THE GOLD IN THE HOOP IS DISCOLORED BUT CAN BE SPRAY PAINTED ANY COLOR METAL PAINT. THERE IS SOME KIND OF STAMP ON THE BACK SIDE BUT I AM UNABLE TO READ IT.
