| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly colored central medallion depicting the Aquarius figure as an elaborately ornamented water-bearer rendered in a stylized, decorative manner with polychrome enamel highlights in teal, red, and white. The figure is surrounded by swirling water motifs and interlocking geometric patterns evoking celestial and astrological imagery. An outer annular band displays a detailed astronomical chart with Moon phase symbols, constellation markings, and additional zodiac signs arranged around the circumference. The Aquarius water-jar symbol appears in a cartouche at the bottom of the field, and the Air element alchemical symbol is positioned at the lower left. The overall composition combines art nouveau-inspired ornamentation with precise astronomical detail. |
