Inscription [reverse]

Attributed to Friedrich Hagenauer

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of an aged, engraved medallion. The medallion features an inscription with text that is partially legible. The surface of the medallion exhibits a patina, indicating age and a textural finish. The circular metal object has a small hole near the edge. The engraved text appears to be in a blocky, uppercase script style with a slightly irregular handcrafted appearance. The medallion is captured against a dark background.
