Favorite piece November
Every month, visitors to the "sam - Stadtmuseum am Markt" choose their favorite piece from the collections at a multimedia station. In November, the choice fell on a special medallion.
Medallion with boar depiction
The medallion shows a depiction of a boar based on Gallic models. The boar is looking to the left. Below him is a panther leaping to the right in the direction of the boar's hind legs. There is a small hole between the two, which may have served as a mount.
Depictions of boars have been found since Roman times. They are often associated with battle rage, aggression and destruction, but also with courage and (usually male) strength.
