Giovanni Paolo Orsini on Horseback [reverse]

Style of Niccolò Fiorentino

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a round relief sculpture of a figure riding a horse. The rider is dressed in flowing garments and is seated on a horse with raised front legs. The sculpture appears to be made from a metal material, possibly bronze, based on its color and texture. It seems relatively small, like a medallion or coin. There is text above the rider's head and beneath the horse's hooves, but the characters are unclear. The sculpture features high relief details depicting an equestrian scene.
