Benedetto Lomellini of Genoa, 1517-1579, Cardinal 1565 [obverse]
The relief medallion depicts a side profile of a bearded man facing right. The detailed features include a prominent nose and textured beard. The inscription reads "BENEDICTVS CARD LONETINVS." The dark metallic material creates a dark, aged patina with highlights on raised areas. The sculpture appears small in scale and shows fine detail in the facial hair and clothing of the subject.
