Description
Round Abraham Lincoln floral art features a printed engraving of a beardless Abraham Lincoln wearing a dark suit, vest, bow tie, and white shirt in the center. A ring of dried flowers and plants encircles the portrait. The piece is encased within a gold-painted wood frame and covered by glass.
