About this work

Round lead plaque with beveled edges. On a rocky elevation sits a woman in a voluminous draped gown, her body to the left, her head turned to the right. In her right hand she holds the hammer, in her left the nail with which she killed Jisera, commander of the Canaanites, in the temple. In the background, a mountain landscape and buildings. To the right, a farmstead with a well.
