Abstract
Simulated marble panels and the like are mounted in place by an anchor which includes an elongated pin having a pointed remote end with an anchor plate secured to its opposite base end. The anchor plate has a plurality of perforations extending completely through it so that it may be positioned in a recess in the panel and permanently mounted to the panel by means of a bonding agent applied to the recess which flows through the perforations in the anchor plate and covers the anchor plate when it forms an integral bond with the panel. The pin may then be secured to a substrate in any suitable manner.
