Francesco Foscari, c. 1374-1457, Doge of Venice 1423 [obverse]
The sculpture is a round medallion featuring a profile portrait of a man wearing a distinctively shaped cap. The subject appears to be of notable status. The piece is made of bronze with a brownish-green patina. The portrait is in relief on the medallion. Inscriptions in Latin surround the figure, reading "FRANCISCVS FOSCARI DVX."
