| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-figure depiction of Archangel Michael rendered in a Romanesque manuscript illumination style. The archangel is shown facing three-quarters left, nimbed and winged, clad in flowing robes and holding a lance or staff aloft in his right hand while subduing a dragon-like beast at his feet. Architectural elements suggestive of a fortified sanctuary appear in the upper right field, referencing Michael's role as heavenly protector. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border, with small star-like ornaments scattered across the field, enhancing the medieval devotional character of the design. |
