Shoot: Tomomitsu Ono, HORIUCHI COLOR LTD.
A commemorative medal created for the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts (commonly known as the Art Deco Exposition) held in Paris in 1925. The octagonal medal’s obverse depicts a woman seated on a cloud, holding a basket of flowers on her left arm while she drops flowers into the world below as if blessing the exhibition's awardees. Her appearance is reminiscent of the goddess Flora, but her short haircut reflects female representations of the Art Deco period. The reverse side also features a floral motif with the name of the exposition engraved.
