Cast in relief within an oval medallion, the profile depicts Sir Thomas More, the famed 16th-century English statesman, philosopher, and author. After his execution by King Henry VIII, More was canonized as a saint, and his portrait was often reproduced on decorative and utilitarian objects—not only as a symbol of protection but also as a reminder to stand up for what is right.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe medallion is framed by a beaded border and a decorative ribbon bow, lending it the appearance of a miniature framed plaque. Beneath extends a single hook, likely intended for holding keys, rosaries, or other small daily items. Its compact size and ornate face suggest it may have originally hung in a vestibule, study, or near a desk, blending daily utility with a sense of refinement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Cast bronze or brass with aged patina\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Relief portrait in Renaissance style\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Oval medallion with ribbon and beaded frame\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Era\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• European, likely late 19th–early 20th century, in Renaissance Revival style\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery good antique condition with an even, aged patina.
