This circular bronze medal depicts a scene of mythological figures, likely Tritons and Nereids, arranged in a frieze. The central motif features a laurel wreath surrounding the letters “M.R.L,” likely an abbreviation for a name or inscription. The artist, Master IO.F.F., known for his work in the 15th and 16th centuries, created the piece in high relief, showcasing the detailed anatomy and movement of the figures. This medal, likely intended for private display, is a striking example of Renaissance art.
