This 16th-century bronze medal, created by Hans Kels the Younger, depicts Laux Kreler and Elisabeth Kreler in profile. Kels was a German Renaissance medalist known for his portraiture, often using medals to celebrate notable figures. The medal's inscription, "Laux Kreler Was Aet 151" provides information on the subject's age, highlighting the artist's attention to detail. The work, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of medals in the Renaissance.
