Architecture Seated before Buildings [reverse]

Jacopo Nizzola da Trezzo

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief carving on a coin or medallion. The scene features a seated figure, likely a woman, draped in robes. She is next to architectural elements including columns and a temple with steps. The circular piece has a raised, beaded edge. The figure holds an object and there is a basket or urn beside her. The material appears to be bronze. The relief carving contrasts with the background. There is a Latin inscription below the image: "DEO ET OPT PRINC."
