These silver-gilt medallions with scenes of the Christ's life in repoussé, show Gothic architectural features characteristic of the 14th century A.D., which are often represented in artworks of the late Medieval period including manuscript illuminations and stained glass. Interestingly, Saint Joseph is represented with the typical cap worn in Medieval Germany by the Jews of the same period.
