Overview

In the centre of this rectangular, bevel-edged, wooden plaque is a diamond-shaped metal plate, representing a baseball diamond, with green baselines and bases. This metal plate is split into three pieces, with the largest section at the top imprinted with the white outline of a baseball and impressed with the name of the tournament and the five competing cities. The middle section of the plate bears the name of the champion team and their manager. The lower section of the plate is impressed with the name of the organisation presenting the plaque, and the place and date of the tournament. Surrounding the central plate are five smaller gold-coloured metal plates, enamelled with the flags of the countries represented at the tournament: Indonesia (top left), Thailand (top right), Australia, Philippines, Singapore (L-R across lower edge of plaque).

The back of the plaque has a wooden flip-out stand, and a metal manufacturer's label nailed to the wood.
