Oliver Cromwell, Commemorating the Victory at the Battle of Dunbar [obverse]

Thomas Simon

National Gallery of Art

The image features a round sculpted medal depicting the profile of a man with long hair, wearing period clothing including a cloak and high-collared shirt. The medal appears to be made of bronze, with the man's figure in raised relief against the flat background. Inscriptions encircle the man, reading "THE LORD OF HOSTS" at the top, "1650 SEPTEM" on the right, and "WORD AT DVRIE" on the left. The man's facial features and attire are highly detailed, giving the sculpture a lifelike texture and historical significance.
