George T. Morgan

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bronze-colored medal with a raised profile image of a man with short hair and a beard, facing right. The man's hair is parted on the left side. The words "ABRAHAM LINCOLN" are raised and stamped into the metal around the circumference, following the curve of the medal. The man's image occupies most of the surface, with the words at the top and bottom. The background of the image is gray, and there is a shadow behind and to the left of the medal.
