Medal of Honor

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Medal of Honor has a bronze medal with a laurel wreath encircling the text on the front. The medal is attached to a rectangular metal piece with raised edges that holds a bowed, light blue and white striped ribbon. The medal has a textured border around the edge. The ribbon's bowed top section is wider than the bottom section that attaches to the medal. The background of the image is a solid beige color.
