| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of a detail from Hans Memling's 'Virgin and Child' (ca. 1475–1480) occupying the left three-quarters of the square field, depicting the Virgin Mary veiled in a white headcovering and draped in a red garment, tenderly nursing the Christ Child who reaches upward toward her. To the right, against a polished black ground, a sculpted relief stem bearing two fully open roses and a bud rises vertically, rendered in high-relief matte silver finish. The composition is framed by a plain raised silver border. |
