| Reverse description | Full-length figure of St. John the Baptist standing facing, depicted in a landscape setting with vegetation at his feet, clad in a camel-hair garment. He holds a tall patriarchal cross or staff in his left hand while his right hand is raised in a gesture of benediction. A halo is visible behind his head, and a star appears above in the field. The date 1583 is inscribed in the exergue, and the surrounding legend names the patron saint of Florence. |
