Albrecht von Wallenstein Portrait Medallion

This is a circular relief medallion, likely made of plaster or unglazed ceramic (biscuit), depicting the profile portrait of Albrecht von Wallenstein (1583–1634), the famous Bohemian military leader. The item measures a few inches in diameter and features a matte white finish. The central figure is shown in right-side profile with highly detailed curly hair, a pointed goatee, and a wide-collared doublet adorned with intricate geometric or floral patterns. The figure is flanked by the circular inscription 'ALBERTUS WALLSTEIN' in raised serif lettering. This style of medallion is characteristic of 18th or 19th-century commemorative work, possibly a Grand Tour souvenir or a plaster cast from a collection like those of James Tassie. The craftsmanship is high, evidenced by the delicate rendering of the hair and the sharpness of the collar details. Condition-wise, the medallion shows visible aging including some surface discoloration (yellowish foxing or staining) on the left side, minor pitting, and several small dark specks scattered across the surface. There are slight abrasions along the outer rim, though no major chips or structural cracks are immediately apparent.
