Giovanni Martino Hamerani

The sculpture is a circular medallion with two figures standing next to each other. The figure on the left holds a large key and is depicted in a robe, while the figure on the right holds a sword, also in a robe. Both figures are shown in detailed relief, suggesting a conversational pose. They are surrounded by a circular border with inscriptions running along the upper edge and a date "1978" at the bottom. The color of the medallion is bronze-like, indicating it is made from metal. The medallion has a loop at the top. The inscription is embossed along the edge of the circular border.
