Pietro Barbo, 1417-1471 (Pope Paul II, 1464), as Cardinal of San Marco [obverse]
The sculpture represents a profile portrait of a man on a circular medal or coin. The man is wearing an elaborate garment with intricate patterns and a medallion or clasp. The material appears to be a dark metal, possibly bronze, with a brown patina. The man's face, clothing, and details are finely captured on the surface. An inscription on the edge reads "PETRVS BARBVS VENETVS CARDINALIS."
