Borghese Borghesi, 1414-1490, Jurisconsult of Siena [obverse]

Francesco di Giorgio Martini

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a round, relief medallion featuring the profile of a man's head facing left. The man depicted is wearing a conical hat and his attire suggests a robe or similar garment. The sculpture is made of a bronze-colored material. The edges of the medallion have text inscribed in a circular fashion. The medallion has two holes near the edge. The profile appears worn, with minor surface marks and patina. The size and shape of the medallion suggest it was designed to be viewed closely.
