Michelangelo Buonarrotti, 1475- 1564 - This is a probable recasting of a medal made by Giovanni Cipriani. The original was most likely made between 1760 and 1780. This medal was probably made in the late 19th or early 20th century as a decorative object. The reverse is blank, as these were often used as paperweights or set into a wooden frame. Cipriani's original reverse showed Michelangelo's Moses. 80,60mm, 335grms.
