On the reverse a veiled woman bows her head with her hands folded at her breast, set inside an arched frame. Long slots are cut through the body of the center on either side, so light passes through the piece as it moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo words are cast into the reverse of the antique original and reproduced faithfully here, \u003cstrong\u003eSTERLING\u003c\/strong\u003e above the figure and \u003cstrong\u003eITALY\u003c\/strong\u003e below it.
