Medal of Honor for the City Garden Clubs of New York n.d.

This bronze medal, sculpted by Herbert Adams (1858-1945), was awarded by the City Gardens Club of New York. The central motif features a winged cherub, a symbol of purity and innocence, perched on a pedestal and graciously reaching towards a plant, symbolizing the beauty and growth associated with gardening. The background features lush foliage and a vase, further reinforcing the theme of nature and nurturing. This artwork was likely created as a prize for a gardening competition and exemplifies Adams' skill in creating elegant and meaningful sculptures.
