Arms of Paumgartner [reverse]

Joachim Deschler

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a round medallion with a heraldic design. At the center is a shield with two sections - one featuring a bird on a branch and the other a fleur-de-lis. Above the shield, there is a helmet with a closed visor under a fabric drapery. A parrot sits atop the helmet. The medallion is circular with an ornate border, and it has inscriptions along the circumference. The sculpture is made from a metal with a bronze-like patina, suggesting it may be crafted from bronze or a similar alloy.
