Below the sheep’s head, printed on the wood shield in black ink with a felt-tipped pen is “1/8/1972”, underneath that, “LONGLAKE - YUKON”, and underneath that “AL PERRIN”. On the unpainted surface of the backside of the wood shield “AL PERRIN” is printed with a black ink felt-tipped pen, underneath that “Aug 1/72”, and underneath that “LONG LAKE YUKON”. There is a hole bored into the back, 2.50cm from the top, so it can be hung on a nail or screw.

The measurements for the wood plaque are: 56.0cmx38.0cm wide (at its widest point), 31.0cm at its narrowest point and the depth is 2.0cm.
