The image shows a round medallion featuring a figure standing with a cross. The figure, possibly female, holds the cross with one hand. At her feet is a lion, and she has a calm expression. The medallion is inscribed with Latin text surrounding the central figure. It has a bronze color with a patina. The relief work creates a sense of depth, making the subject stand out from the background, which includes details of a city and a bridge. At the bottom is the inscription "AN. MDCCLXXXVIII," corresponding to the year 1788. The craftsmanship suggests a historical artifact, possibly cast in metal, with artistic and historical significance.
