Roberto di Ruggiero Macinghi [obverse]

Style of Niccolò Fiorentino

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a circular medallion featuring the profile of a male figure, facing right. He has long hair and wears a hat, with distinct facial features including a prominent nose and defined mouth. The perimeter of the medallion has engraved letters. The medallion is made from a metallic material, likely bronze, given its brownish color with areas of lighter highlights that catch the light, accentuating the figure's facial features and hair. The medallion appears to be a finely detailed small object and includes a small hole at the top. The surface has a smooth texture with some visible signs of patina.
