| Reverse description | The left portion of the reverse carries a vignette representing the world of childhood — evoking fantasy, learning, and imagination. The right side is filled with reproductions of drawings executed by Meireles herself, drawn from her scholarly studies on Brazilian folklore, popular songs, and traditional dances, composing a unified decorative panel. |
