Medallion
The medallion by artist James D. Cox features a round object with a red fabric base densely covered in intricate gold embroidery. The embroidery consists of repeating patterns of leaves and flowers. At the center, a gold design appears to be a stylized animal or mythical creature, possibly a dragon or a phoenix, surrounded by more intricate patterns. The background of the image fades from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom, with a shadow cast by the medallion. The entire piece is circular and symmetrical.
