The Judgment of Solomon

Pseudo Melioli

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sculptural relief on a circular object depicting several figures in a narrative scene. The central figure is seated holding a staff atop a raised platform. To the left, two standing figures appear to be engaging with the central figure, while another figure on the right seems to be in motion. The sculpture is made of a darkened material, possibly bronze or metal, with a tarnished surface showing hints of reddish-brown hues and areas that catch light. The details of the clothing and features are intricate, suggesting fine workmanship.
