Description
This is a golden medallion depicting a scene with armored people on the left and a columned structure on the right. The group on the left includes several armored individuals, three mounted on horseback, with some carrying tall flags or standards. The people are depicted in profile, walking towards a columned structure where two men are seated, looking towards the approaching group. The sculpture is a relief, and it shows intricate detailing on both the people and the architectural elements. However, some areas of the medallion have dark brown discoloration, obscuring these details. The medallion has a hole at the top.
