Ball, Black & Co.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A circular metal object with a raised profile portrait of a man with wavy hair and a beard, wearing a suit jacket and tie. The man's head is facing right. The words "JOHN C. FREMONT" are written in raised letters above the man's head, curving around the top half of the circle. There are small raised letters at the bottom of the circle that read "BALL, BLACK & CO". The metal object has a worn, weathered appearance with visible scratches and marks on its surface. The background is a plain gray surface with a shadow cast by the metal object.
