About this work

Silver medal. Obverse: four storm gods try in vain to blow out a candle, which is lit by a hand from the clouds. The candle stands on an open book, lying on an altar; on the altar cloth at the front a monogram between olive branches, on the side a coat of arms within a two-line legend. Reverse: inscription.
