Description
The image shows a bronze medallion with a detailed design. The central subject is a shield-like motif with an emblem, possibly a cross, inside a circular crest. Surrounding the central motif are Latin inscriptions referencing the year 1517 and other design elements. The bronze material gives the sculpture a brown color with a weathered patina. The medallion features a three-dimensional relief with intricate craftsmanship.
