"Arms of Maugras over a Crozier" is a bronze medal created by Giovanni Candida around 1500. The medal depicts the arms of Maugras, a noble family from the Italian region of Lombardy, featuring two scallop shells and a stylized sun. The reverse of the medal is inscribed with the words "SVE. PRO. VERE. SASSANVS. IN. VMBRA. MEDNS", which translates to "Your truth, Sassanus in the shadow, mediates". This work exemplifies the artistic style and craftsmanship prevalent in Renaissance Italy.
