Reverse description Hercules depicted in dramatic high relief, clad in a lion-skin loincloth and kneeling on rocky ground, drawing a large bow as he battles the monstrous Stymphalian Birds that surround him from all directions. The ferocious birds, with sharp talons and menacing beaks, swoop and lunge across the antiqued silver field in a dynamic, cinematic composition. Selective gilding applied to multiple fallen and flying feathers scattered throughout the scene creates a striking polychrome contrast against the darkened silver surfaces. The legend STYMPHALIAN BIRDS curves along the lower portion of the field in bold Latin lettering.
