Concordia Holding a Lily Scepter and an Olive Branch

Francesco Laurana

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a round, coin-like sculpture with an engraved figure as the central subject. The figure is seated, draped in robes, and holding a branch in one hand. The sculpture is made of a metallic material, likely bronze or a similar metal, giving it a dark, muted gray color. Around the edge of the coin, there is an inscription that reads "CONCORDIA AVGVSTA," which frames the figure. The depiction focuses on the robes and the gesture of holding the branch, connecting the figure to an ancient or classical aesthetic.
