John Sigismund Tanner

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture on the medal shows a female figure wearing a crown and flowing robes, holding a watering vessel. She is surrounded by young palm trees, set in a natural scene. The medal is made of a metallic material, likely bronze or a similar dark metal, with intricate detailing such as fine lines and folds in the woman's clothing. The inscription above reads "GROWING ARTS ADORN EMPIRE" and below says "CAROLINE PROTECTING" with the date "1736." The rear of the medal has an embossed design on a circular shape.
