Old terracotta medal Ram 2000 Beliertreffen round vintage decor

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old round medal is made of terracotta, as indicated in the keywords. On the visible side, it features a detailed relief depicting a ram's head wearing a cap, holding a cylindrical object in its mouth. The entire decoration is modeled in relief with a rustic style, typical of artisanal productions from the late 20th or early 21st century.

Two inscriptions molded into the mass are clearly visible: "2000" on a plaque to the right of the ram, and, at the bottom, "BELIERTREFFEN" engraved in capital letters. Two small holes drilled at the periphery of the medal (left and right) suggest a possible hanging or suspension system (string, nail or cord, not supplied). No other text or mark is legible on the displayed side.

The surface of the medal offers a natural, matte hue, characteristic of unglazed terracotta, with slight lighter nuances and some traces of handling, reinforcing the authentic and artisanal appearance of the object. The ram's relief is well marked, with visible details notably on the horns, the cap, and the texture of the muzzle.

The object is typical of commemorative medals or souvenirs from gatherings, here likely linked to an event called "Beliertreffen" in 2000, probably referring to a meeting (German: "Treffen") with a ram or animal theme. Its compact format and rustic design make it a decorative accessory or a group souvenir, suitable for wall display or on a stand.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The surface shows some signs of wear and minor original irregularities. No major chips visible on the exposed side. The relief details remain clearly legible.

Did you know? Terracotta medals are often used at associative gatherings or local events in Central Europe. The term "Beliertreffen" literally means "ram meeting" in German, and frequently refers to meetings, competitions or events centered around this emblematic animal.
