Flower and Door Knocker [reverse]

Amadio da Milano

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a circular medallion with a central sculpture of an emblem depicting a serpent or dragon-like creature coiled around a staff. Surrounding the central sculpture are elegant designs resembling wings or flames. The medallion is made of bronze with a brown metallic finish and areas of wear revealing lighter tones. There is a small circular hole at the top, potentially for hanging or mounting. Engraved text along the edge adds to its detailed and antiquated appearance.
