The King Being Crowned between Peace and Justice [reverse]

Nicolaus Seeländer

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief on a circular medal depicting a central figure surrounded by several other figures. The central figure is a regal male wearing a crown and holding a staff. Other figures include one holding scales, one with a sword, and others with shields and a laurel wreath. The medal is primarily grey, suggesting a metallic material, giving it a reflective quality. The imagery is intricately carved with fine lines and textures illustrating the clothing and attributes of the figures. An inscription is at the bottom of the medal.
