"Exploring the Rich History of Medallions: From Ottoman Empire to Tarot Cards" Step back in time and uncover the fascinating world of medallions, as we embark on a journey through various eras and cultures. Traveling to the 16th century Ottoman Empire, we encounter intricately designed medallions that were cherished symbols of power and prestige. These exquisite pieces adorned with magnificent patterns tell tales of an opulent era long gone. In "A Cognocenti Contemplating Ye Beauties of Ye Antique, " a map published by Hannah Humphrey in the early 1800s, we catch a glimpse of how medallions captivated art enthusiasts even then. Their allure transcended time, captivating minds across centuries. Moving forward to Bungay Corn Cross in 1810, we witness a different kind - one that commemorated local events or landmarks. This unique piece serves as a reminder that medallions weren't solely reserved for nobility but also celebrated community pride. The stained glass window depicting Pisces from the zodiac reminds us that medallions found their way into religious art too. Crafted with vibrant colors and intricate details, these sacred pieces added beauty and symbolism to places of worship. Shifting our focus to Native American culture, Karl Bodmer's aquatint engraving portrays Wahk-Tó-Ge-Li (Big Soldier), a Yankton Sioux chief wearing his tribal medallion proudly. Medallions held deep cultural significance among indigenous communities as emblems representing leadership and heritage. Edmonia Lewis's sculpture "George Scott Winslow" showcases another aspect where medallions played a role - portraiture. The inclusion of this accessory adds depth and character while highlighting social status during the late 19th century. SELOCTA's lithograph captures Creek Native American wearing their traditional attire along with strikingly crafted medallions.
