Boar Hunt [reverse] 1667 - 1682

"Boar Hunt [reverse]" is a small, circular bronze medal by Italian artist Girolamo Paladino, created between 1667 and 1682. The medal depicts a scene of a boar hunt, with hunters pursuing a boar through a wooded area. The inscription around the edge of the medal reads "SOLVM IN FERAS FIVS BELLATVR PASTOR," which translates to "Alone in the beasts, the son of the warrior is a shepherd." This inscription likely refers to a specific historical event or figure, but the exact meaning is unclear. The intricate detail and realistic depiction of the scene are characteristic of Paladino's work.
