The sculpture on this bronze medallion depicts a scene of a figure in elaborate robes knocking down a brick wall with the help of an assistant. Surrounding them are onlookers, some in distinctive headgear. An angelic figure above the scene directs light towards the central figures. The bronze medallion has a braided border and an inscription that reads "DOMVS DEI ET PORTA COELI 1575." The scene conveys action and purpose against a backdrop of architectural and natural elements.
