| Reverse description | A bold, stylized relief composition depicting Noah releasing the dove from the Ark. The robed figure of Noah dominates the center of the field, his arms raised skyward as the dove ascends to the upper left, an olive branch in its beak. A sweeping rainbow arcs across the upper portion of the design, with billowing clouds to the right, while the geometric planking of the Ark's hull is visible in the lower left. The composition is executed in a modernist, sculptural style with strong graphic lines and polished fields. |
