| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly colored and finely detailed scene inspired by Renaissance depictions of the Tower of Babel, dominated in the upper right by the colossal, partially colored stone tower rendered in antiqued relief. The lower field is populated with a densely composed crowd of figures in polychrome colored robes and garments, evoking the confusion of tongues and societal chaos described in the biblical narrative. Animals including oxen and serpents appear in the foreground, while armed soldiers, robed nobles, and scattered figures fill the middle ground. The scene draws clear artistic inspiration from works such as Bruegel's Tower of Babel compositions. The inscription THE TOWER OF BABEL arcs along the upper border in relief lettering. |
