Reverse description A colorized devotional depiction of the Madonna and Child fills the central field in an icon-like Byzantine style. The Virgin Mary, draped in a blue mantle and red robe, is shown in three-quarter bust, her head inclined tenderly toward the crowned Christ Child at her right. Both figures bear golden haloes and wear ornate crowns; their garments are rendered in vibrant polychrome enamel-style coloring in shades of blue, red, and gold against the mirror-polished gold field. The legend MADONNA AND CHILD is inscribed vertically along the right rim.
