Aesop Fables Society of Medalists medallion

Description

1940 Aesop Fables Society of Medalists SOM-21, silver plated by Edmond Amateis.

This double-sided medallion is both large (2.6” in diameter) and heavy. The seller notes that Amateis selected these fables for "their enduring timeliness and left the interpretation up to the beholder, as best suits his sociological, political, or economic inclinations." For me, both faces reveal a great deal in their lowest segment: the reflection in DS and the pinned dove under the regal hawk.
