| Reverse description | The Baptism of Christ depicted in high-relief baroque composition: John the Baptist stands at left, pouring water over the bowed head of Christ at centre, while an angel holding a staff stands to the right. A dove descending from above in the upper field symbolises the Holy Spirit. The scene is set against a rocky landscape with water at the figures' feet. The surrounding Latin legend FILIVS MEVS DILECTVS (from Matthew 3:17, 'This is my beloved Son') runs around the periphery, with the date 1681 placed in the lower exergue. A fine beaded border frames the entire reverse. |
