| Reverse description | A small songbird perches upon one of five horizontal strands of barbed wire that span the field, evoking themes of confinement, suffering, and the fragility of hope — imagery inspired by the poetry of Nobel laureate Nelly Sachs. The bird is rendered in a delicate, understated style at the centre of the composition, surrounded by the stark geometry of the wire strands. The legend '"KOMMT EINER VON FERNE"' curves along the upper rim in quotation marks, referencing the title of one of Sachs's celebrated poetry collections. Along the lower arc, the inscription 'NELLY SACHS 1891–1970' identifies the commemorated poet and her birth and death years. |
