| Reverse description | A highly detailed, deeply struck high-relief scene depicting the biblical prophet Daniel standing calmly at center, robed in flowing garments, surrounded by multiple lions within a rocky den. Several lions are shown at various angles — some reclining docilely, others prowling — rendered with great sculptural realism. The composition draws inspiration from Gustave Doré's celebrated engraving of the same subject, conveying both peril and divine protection. The legend DANIEL IN THE LION'S DEN arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. The antique finish enhances the dramatic chiaroscuro effect of the design. |
