| Reverse description | Allegorical scene in high relief depicting two female figures at a table laden with natural specimens including insects, seeds and fruits. The figure of Nature, rendered as a multi-breasted Artemis of Ephesus type, stands at right, while the figure of Curiosity, seated at left, raises a specimen in her hand. The composition is framed by an arch flanked by two pillars; the left pillar bears a crowned heraldic shield of the Vallisnieri coat of arms. In the background, a rampant horse appears at left, and a bull with an ostrich at right. The Latin legend arcs along the upper border. |
