About this work

Round lead plaque, surrounded by a border with strapwork motifs and masks. The sleeping Noah, a bunch of grapes in his right hand, lies to the left, his head resting against a sack, at the foot of a heavy tree trunk. Before him one of his sons, sitting on a rock. Behind him the other two, with faces turned away. To the right a landscape with buildings and mountains in the distance.
