An Assembly of Gods [reverse]

Master IO.F.F.

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a small, round relief carved into a coin or medallion. It features several human figures in various poses, possibly representing a mythological scene. The figures are in a dynamic interaction, with one central standing figure surrounded by others, some of whom appear to be kneeling or sitting. The sculpture is predominantly a brownish-gold color, suggesting it is made of metal, possibly bronze. The surface shows signs of age and patina, giving it a rough texture. The imagery is intricate and detailed, despite the small size of the sculpture, and it appears quite ancient or antique in style.
