| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic, deeply struck high-relief scene depicting a witch trial execution in a medieval town setting. At the centre, a female figure bound to a stake stands amid rising flames, rendered with exceptional sculptural detail in an antiqued silver finish; selective gold gilding highlights the base of the pyre. To the right, a second condemned woman is shown bound to a ladder or post, attended by armoured guards. In the left foreground, a cloaked clergyman holding a processional cross kneels near the fire, while a crowd of onlookers observes from a raised gallery behind half-timbered and stone architecture. The title legend 'Witch Trial' appears in Gothic-style lettering on a furled banner scroll at the top of the design. |
