Medallion of the Marquis de Lafayette

The medallion features a raised bust portrait of Marquis de Lafayette. He has short hair and wears a jacket with a high collar and bow at the neck. The bust is surrounded by a textured oval background with a pattern resembling a grid or net. Radiating from the oval are pointed, petal-like shapes. Above the oval is a decorative element with a wing-like design on either side of a central motif, and at the top is a ring, likely for attachment. The entire piece appears to be made of metal.
