Reverse description High-relief depiction of an adult chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) facing the viewer, its expressive face rendered in fine sculptural detail, with a juvenile clinging closely at its side. Surrounding the primates in the lower and lateral fields are vibrantly colored tropical leaves and red floral elements executed in translucent enamel, including green monstera and broad foliage. The date 2020 appears in the upper portion of the field, partially framed by additional sculpted leaf forms extending toward the rim.
