This bronze medal, created by the Master HB in 1544, depicts the mythological scene of Lichas delivering the poisoned shirt of Nessus to Hercules. The high relief carving emphasizes the drama of the moment, as Lichas nervously presents the garment to a stoic Hercules, unaware of its deadly nature. The detail of the lion's head at Hercules' feet is a reminder of his strength and connection to the animal world. The inscription "HB" on the medal serves as the artist's monogram.
