The Crucifixion [reverse]

Hans Reinhart the Elder

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a round medallion depicting a scene of crucifixion. It features a central figure on a cross, with two other figures on crosses beside him. Surrounding these figures are smaller figures on horseback and foot. The material appears to be metal with a golden color and an embossed technique to bring out details. One background building resembles a tower. The border contains inscribed text following its circular shape. The piece has a loop at the top for wearing or display.
