Medallion

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The "Medallion" by an unknown artist is a white, oval-shaped object with a wavy edge and a scalloped top. The top section features a decorative design with three curved cut-out sections, resembling a crown or a crest. The main body of the medallion has an embossed floral design in the center, with a flower and leaves carved into it. The number "560" is handwritten in black ink at the bottom center of the medallion. The background of the image is solid black, providing high contrast to the white medallion.
