Reverse description A high-relief sculptural composition depicting the mythological scene of Leda and the Swan: a reclining nude female figure, her long hair flowing, leans back upon draped fabric and a tasselled cushion as she embraces and is kissed by a large swan with dramatically outstretched wings. The figures are rendered with fine anatomical and feather detail against a sunburst-engraved background field. The legend LEDA AND THE SWAN arcs along the upper rim in incuse lettering. The entire composition is struck in antique finish, enhancing the sculptural depth of the design.
