Christ in Glory and the Last Judgment [reverse]

Attributed to Emiliano Orfini da Foligno

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a circular relief with a central figure surrounded by smaller figures intricately designed within the medallion. The central figure stands out with a halo design around the head. The surrounding figures are arranged in tiers with halo designs, suggesting a hierarchy. The sculpture appears to be made of dark metal, likely bronze, with visible patina and texture. The edges of the medallion contain inscribed text encircling the image. The relief technique plays with light and shadow on the surface, enhancing the design's three-dimensional quality.
