Aansporing om niets uit te stellen c. 1700 - 1800

This small, silver medal, created by the anonymous artist Monogrammist L, is a striking example of 18th century medallic art. The two sides of the medal tell a story: on one side, a horse runs up a hill with the inscription "SCHIEBE NICHT AUF" (Do not delay). The other side shows a winged hand reaching down, with the inscription "HILF ZUM ZIELE" (Help towards the goal). This medal likely served as a reminder to its owner to persevere and strive for their goals. The use of a horse as a symbol of speed and the winged hand representing divine assistance emphasizes the urgency of the message.
