"Jaël" is a bronze medal by the German Renaissance artist Peter Flötner, dating from around 1525-1550. The small, circular medal, measuring just 7.8 cm in diameter, depicts the biblical heroine Jaël, who famously drove a tent peg into the head of Sisera, a Canaanite general. Flötner, known for his intricate details and skillful use of relief, captures the drama of the story in this small-scale work. The medal's bronze surface adds to its historical significance and antique aesthetic.
