    "description": "This medallion in dark blue jasperware shows two women performing a sacrifice to peace at a burning altar.  One is standing and the other is kneeling with arms and hands poised in a graceful manner. Clasped hands appear in relief on the side of the altar, and the standing figure holds an olive branch - both are symbols of peace.",
