The frame is ready to hang. The wire is recessed which allows the frame to rest flat back to the wall as in a museum mount. The “bumpons” on each back corner protect the wall and keep the frame level. The back of the frame, which doesn’t show, has some brush strokes from the second coat of paint. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated.
