So Special! Large and old double-sided blacksmithing trade sign.

There also appears to be a red layer underneath the gold. This layer was probably intended to be an undercoating to give the gilding more depth...

The outermost and innermost layers are nearly the same color, with an intervening layer of softer pink...
