Enclosure and a Bird of Prey above [reverse]

Circle of Niccolò Fiorentino

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture in the image is a circular coin-like object with a design resembling a barricade or a fence. At the top is a bird, potentially an eagle, intricately carved with detailed feathers. In the fence structure are the letters "DA" above "PRO." The sculpture is made of a bronze-like material with a reddish-brown oxidized appearance. The worn contours suggest an aged and historical artifact.
