Classical Profile Bronze Salvage Medallion

A classical profile rises from the recessed center of this round bronze salvage piece. The figure’s swept-back hair and ribbon-like ties catch the light, while a repeating leaf border and finely beaded edge frame the portrait.

The profile and patterned border recall the design of classical coins and portrait medals. Dark patina settles into the finer details, giving the relief depth and making this small piece especially handsome among antique books or displayed on a tabletop easel.
