Medallion

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Medallion by unknown artist. Two vertically stacked and rounded decorative medallions side by side. The medallions are gray with ornate designs featuring four individuals dressed in long, traditional robes standing on natural scenery including a pond with fish and foliage. Within each medallion on the left side a man in a hat stands and gestures to a woman on the right with a long basket on her arm. The medallions are flower-petal shaped in a vertical point at the top and have a continuous curved line border.
