| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of a coiled rattlesnake dominates the entire field, its body rendered in intricate scale-by-scale sculptural detail with dramatic depth. The serpent's head is raised and turned toward the viewer with open jaws and visible fangs in a striking pose, while its segmented rattle is prominently displayed in the lower centre. Sparse grass stalks are visible in the background field. The legend THE RATTLE SNAKE · 1 KG .999 CU arcs along the upper periphery, and the engraver's signature P. DeGreef appears in the lower right field. The antique copper finish accentuates the extraordinary three-dimensional relief of the composition. |
