This bronze medal, created by Peter Dell the Elder in 1536, is a portrait of Willibald von Redwitz, Canon of Bamberg. The medal depicts Redwitz in profile, wearing a cap and a robe, holding a rosary in his hands. The inscription around the edge of the medal identifies the subject and includes the inscription "IN GOT IST MEIN VERTRAUEN," which translates to "In God is my trust." This medal is an example of Renaissance portraiture and would have been used as a commemorative piece.
