a solid print layer that is formed from an oil resistant ink containing an acrylpolyol resin having a weight average molecular weight in the range from 10,000 to 80,000 and a hydroxyl value of 4.0 mg KOH/g or more and 30.0 mg KOH/g or less as a binder resin, and 10% by weight to 75% by weight of a pigment, and is provided on the surface of the substrate;

a ground pattern layer provided on the solid print layer;

a design pattern provided on the upper layer side of the ground pattern layer to correspond to an expression region that represents recesses or protrusions;

a first luster control layer that is formed from a mixture of a curable resin and an isocyanate resin with silica particles contained therein, and covers the design pattern and a lower layer of the design pattern; and
