| Reverse description | The reverse features a colorized reproduction of the painting 'The Adoration of the Shepherds' by Matthias Stomer, circa 1650, held in Turin, rendered in a recessed oval cartouche at the center of the field. The nocturnal scene depicts the infant Christ surrounded by shepherds and the Holy Family, illuminated by a dramatic chiaroscuro light source characteristic of Stomer's Caravaggesque style. Five Swarovski crystal inserts are arranged above and below the central painting, catching light and adding a three-dimensional decorative element. Architectural facade motifs are engraved along the upper portion of the field, framing the composition. The legend TREASURE OF ART is inscribed across the lower field beneath the central painting. |
