Poincare-Clemenceau Medal (reverse)

Henri Nocq

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Poincare-Clemenceau Medal's reverse side features a gold-colored, circular relief sculpture. The scene depicts a horse-drawn chariot with two horses visible. Three men in military uniforms pull the chariot from the left; one man holds the horse on the left by the bridle, while another man holds a large wheel. The third man on the left holds a long spear. The chariot contains three figures: one woman holds a flag on a long pole, another woman stands to her right, and a third figure is partially visible behind them. The woman on the right holds a long spear. The bottom of the medal features the text "METZ-STRASBOURG DECEMBRE 1918". The medal rests on a gray surface with a dark shadow behind it.
