Scenes from the History of Tobias 1685 - 1699

"Scenes from the History of Tobias" is a silver medal created by German artist Georg Hautsch between 1685 and 1699. The circular medal depicts a scene from the biblical book of Tobit where the Angel Raphael guides Tobias, the son of Tobit, on his journey home. The inscription around the edge of the medal is in German, and it reads "Lasst vns Gott bitten den wir sind vnder der heiligen," which translates to "Let us pray to God, for we are under the holy ones." This medal is an example of Hautsch's work in the late 17th century, which often focused on religious themes.
