Description

This vintage solid bronze medallion features a deeply carved biblical relief scene, depicting a group of figures gathered around a reclining or resting figure — possibly representing The Raising of Lazarus or The Lamentation of Christ.

The design draws inspiration from Romanesque church art and medieval bronze reliefs found in monasteries and cathedrals of Germany and Northern Europe.
The outer rim bears a partially visible inscription, typical of early 20th-century German foundries that reproduced sacred art based on ancient models.

Each face expresses calm reverence and sorrow, captured in the textured, handcrafted style characteristic of mid-century German religious bronzes.
