Medal: National War Garden Commission

Tiffany & Co.

Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a bronze-colored medal with two sides. The left side shows a woman crouching down and tending to plants. She has her hair pulled back and wears a long dress. Behind her, there are rows of crops with soldiers in the distance. The words "United States of America" are written along the top edge. The right side features a basket filled with fruits and vegetables. The basket sits on the ground next to a shovel and a hoe crossed over each other. Above the basket are the words "National War Garden Commission". Below the basket and tools are four lines of text.
