This small bronze medal, created by the artist Mea in 1513, features a cherub with outstretched wings, a swan, and an eagle, all standing on individual pedestals. The piece is a testament to the meticulous detail of Renaissance art, showcasing the artist's skill in depicting intricate figures and symbolic imagery. The inscription, "IER MAX," likely refers to Emperor Maximilian I, signifying the medal's purpose as a commemorative or celebratory piece. The small size of this medal suggests it may have been a personal memento or a token of exchange.
