Sword Pommel with inset plaquette of The Judgment of Paris [detachable obverse of pommel]

Master IO.F.F.

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts four figures, with one seated figure on the left interacting with three standing figures on the right, who are all nude. Above the figures, there are two smaller flying figures or motifs and some tree-like or decorative elements above the seated figure. The sculpture is circular, set within a clover-shaped frame with scalloped edges. It is made of bronze, giving it a metallic, gold-brown appearance with a smooth texture. The figures are rendered in relief, creating a three-dimensional effect that provides depth to the scene.
