A beautifully detailed c1920 Art Nouveau medal with one side depicting a sailboat in waves with the motto "in tempestate securitas" (safety in the storm) and on the other St George taming a dragon. The pair of images are often used on amulets meant to bring safe travels. The medal is signed Becker, for the designer Edmond Becker-- a well known Art Nouveau sculptor.
