Medallion by Georges Dupré: A rectangular, bronze-colored medallion with a raised relief design on both sides. The left side shows a woman sitting and holding a child. The woman has long hair and wears a dress. The child appears to be kissing or embracing her. The bottom of this side has an inscription that reads "SOUVENIR". The right side depicts two cherubs or putti embracing. They are surrounded by foliage and floral elements. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
