Medal

Cleveland Museum of Art

Medal by James Wilson. Two bronze medal faces. The left face shows a man on one knee with a cloth around his waist with his right arm bent at the elbow resting on his knee and his head on his arm; behind him is a woman standing with a long cloth draped from her right shoulder across her body to her left hip; on her right arm is a small child with both arms raised; behind them are two sheep and a dog; and other background elements. The right face shows a man crawling on all fours towards a wall with one arm outstretched to touch the wall; the wall has two lines of text in relief and behind the wall are grass and plants; and on the wall are what appears to be a helmet and a sword.
