Medallion.

Medallion. A larger kind of medal, which, instead of being circular, is usually oval. Wedgwood's portrait-medallions in biscuit, in basaltes, and in jasper, of two colours, are examples of the class of smaller medal- lions. The larger are often important bas-reliefs, including such sub- jects as the "Choice of Hercules,'* the "Centaur Teaching Apollo Music," &c. &c. Another class, namely, medallions impressed, is seen in the " War of Jupiter and the Titans," " The Marriage Supper of Perseus and Andromeda," and others. Medallions may be round, up- right, or longitudinal. The smaller range from 2 to 5 in., the larger from 5 to 11]^ in. For various examples, see "Life of Wedgwood," vol. ii., " Wedgwood and his Works," and " Memorials of " Wedgwood."
