Gaming Piece (obverse)

Martin Brunner

Cleveland Museum of Art

The object is a round, flat disc with a raised edge and a carved design on it. The disc is made of a light-colored material, possibly wood or stone. The edge of the disc has an ornate border with a leaf-like pattern. In the center of the disc, there is a carving of a woman sitting down, holding a child. There are two other children on either side of her. The woman appears to be wearing a long dress. Above the woman's head, there is Latin text carved into the disc. The background of the image is white, suggesting that the disc is resting on a flat surface.
