| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic high-relief composition depicting two pairs of wrestlers engaged in combat, juxtaposing antiquity and modernity. In the foreground, a modern wrestler executes a powerful throw, lifting his opponent bodily off the ground in a dramatic display of athletic strength. In the background to the right, two ancient Greek wrestlers are rendered in a style reminiscent of classical vase painting or sculptural relief, crouching in a grappling stance. An olive branch motif crowns the composition at the upper field, linking the ancient and modern Olympic traditions. The deeply recessed mirror fields contrast with the sculpted figures to produce a striking proof cameo effect. |
