Description from the seller

Medal model by Niccolò Spinelli (1430-1514)
Model of the front part of the bronze medal of 'Nonina Strozzi,' wife of Bernardo del Barbigia, created by Niccolò Spinelli.
In the process of medal casting, the artist created two different models of the front and back of the medal, in order to obtain two casting shells in refractory material and then proceed with the casting of the medal itself.
The offered item is the model of the front of the medal, directly crafted by Niccolò Spinelli, goldsmith and chaser, renowned for creating medals for important figures of the era.
The casting made in the shell of the front of the medal (image no. 6) is preserved at the AMERICAN NUMISMATIC SOCIETY.
