Place of origin |
This is a medal made by the Monogrammist PL in 1559. This medal, representing Jörg Ebner, is copied from a medal by Joachim Deschler; it is the only known work by the monogrammist. It seems to be made of talc or steatite, rather than Solnhofen stone. The inscription is clumsily inscribed, and the work may be a later pastiche of a sixteenth-century German medal.
