| Reverse description | A densely composed, high-relief tableau depicting a multitude of nude male and female figures — the Oreads, mountain nymphs of Greek mythology — frolicking and dancing amidst lush, intricately rendered foliage and rocky terrain. The figures are portrayed in dynamic, intertwining poses throughout the field, evoking the sculptural tradition of classical antiquity. A crescent moon appears in the upper left of the field above the scene, with dense tree canopy filling the upper register. The inscription OREADS is positioned in the upper right of the field in capital letters. The composition fills the entire reverse to the rim with no border, creating an immersive, medallic aesthetic. |
