Philipp Heinrich Müller

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a round medallion with embossed side profiles of two individuals, possibly a man and a woman, with elaborate hairstyles and detailed clothing. The material appears metallic, possibly bronze or brass, giving it a shiny, gold-toned appearance. There are bands of text around the edges and at the bottom as part of the relief work. The medallion is flat and would fit in the palm of a hand, showcasing a classic, antique design.
