Felicitas Seated, Holding Ears of Corn and Waving Cornucopiae [reverse]

Adriano Fiorentino

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a round medal or coin with raised relief elements. It depicts a seated woman draped in robes, holding a sprig of leaves in her left hand. Above her is a cornucopia of fruits, and to her left is an image of a bird, possibly an eagle. The medal has a bronze color, suggesting it is made of bronze or a similar metal. Inscriptions around its perimeter read "PVBLICAE FELICITATIS SPES" in a Latin-like script. The artifact has a rustic and aged appearance with slightly worn details, indicating its historical nature. A small circular hole is present at the bottom.
