Italy or France Probably late 19th century. Late in the 1st century B.C., the Roman historian Livy retold "the legend of how the Sabine women were snatched from their families at a religious festival to populate Rome, and how their hearts and minds were won over by violence followed by sweet words and childbearing" (stoa.org). This dramatic little piece represents that story. Many artists and sculptors have interpreted the tale, and this dramatic little piece is most similar to the painting, "The Rape of the Sabine Women" by Peter Paul Rubens (1557-1640). To clarify: in the context of the Latin language of the Roman Empire, the word "raptio" (rape) translates as "abduction." The double-tailed banner in the 11 o'clock position bears the initialism "SPQR" -- "Senatus Populusque Romanus" -- referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic. The piece is mounted on a 10" x 10" wooden plaque covered in worn burgundy velvet; it is easily removed so that the wood can be re-covered.   « Less

I have two original Salvador Dali two sided medals, one in silver and one in bronze. The silver is $250, and the bronze is $150. The image of Dionysus on the Unicorn and Dali's initials appear on the front (obverse), and Dionysus and Pallas Athena with Dali's signature, the date 1966 on the reverse. They are 1-1/4" in diameter. The side of the silver medal is marked with the cornucopia hallmark of the Paris Mint followed by a "1" with a star to indicate the purity of the silver, plus the mark 925 for sterling. The side of the bronze medal is marked with the cornucopia hallmark of the Paris Mint, plus BR for bronze. I have owned these medals for 15-20 years and have not touched them. The condition is excellent. The size is ideal for setting in a bezel to make a pendant or pin, which would make a great gift for a man or a woman. In the following year 1967 the Paris Mint issued a pair of medals in silver on behalf of the French medal club. These medals are larger, about 10" in diameter, and one medal has the unicorn image, the second medal has the Pallas Athena image, with inscriptions on the back. As far as I have been able to determine, my medal is the earliest version. I guarantee that my medals are authentic.
