Hexogonal Font in a Landscape [reverse] 1460

This circular lead medal, created by the Italian artist Petrecino in 1460, depicts a hexagonal font surrounded by a mountainous landscape with a sun radiating above. This Renaissance-era artwork reflects the rich symbolism of the period, likely representing the importance of faith and the power of God. The inscription, “OPVS PETREINI DE FLORENTIA,” translates to "Work of Petrecino of Florence," signifying the artist's pride in his creation. This small yet detailed medal, measuring 9.67 cm in diameter, is a testament to the artistry and religious devotion of the Renaissance period.
