This is a photograph of a bronze or copper medallion. The medallion features a relief sculpture depicting a classical scene with a winged figure, possibly a representation of a mythological character. The central figure is standing or striding forward, holding a staff in one hand. Beside this central figure are two smaller figures; one seated and the other standing. The surface of the medallion shows signs of age, with a patina and wear visible, providing texture to the relief.
