Incised Inscription [reverse]

Vettor Gambello, called Camelio

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a circular, flat medallion with an inscribed text. The medallion is made of a metal, likely bronze, with a brownish color and patina. The inscription on the medallion consists of several lines of capitalized Latin letters. The material and markings of the medallion give it an aged appearance, with signs of wear like scratches and spots. The edges of the medallion are slightly raised, providing a border around the inscribed area.
