Giovanni Falier

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a circular medallion featuring a relief scene. Two figures are depicted - one on horseback and the other standing, potentially gesturing. The background shows architectural elements like towers and arches. The medallion is crafted from metal with a brown hue, likely bronze. Detailed engravings show the figures and the structures. Text is inscribed along the upper and lower edges. There is a small hole at the top for hanging or wearing.
