Reverse description A highly detailed, romantic depiction of the Rusalka, a supernatural water spirit from Slavic mythology, rendered in rose gold gilt relief against a teal-coloured field. The figure is shown as a young woman with long flowing hair, her face turned downward in a contemplative expression, her mermaid-like lower body adorned with large floral and aquatic motifs including water lilies and seaweed. A dragonfly is visible near her shoulder, and stylised birds appear in the upper field. At the lower centre, a Slavic sun symbol is engraved into the field. The inscriptions RUSALKA and SLAVIC BESTIARY appear in the lower portion of the field.
