Hello,

This item is a relief artwork that appears to be crafted from a hammered metal sheet, likely copper or bronze, based on the rich patina and color visible in the images. The subject matter, as the title “Hippocratic” suggests, likely references themes related to ancient Greek medical traditions, possibly even a visual representation inspired by Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician considered the father of Western medicine. The textured surface shows a high degree of relief, possibly hand-hammered or cast, creating intricate folds and patterns that contribute to the overall depth and complexity of the composition. The craftsmanship appears to suggest an artist with skill in metalwork, though the somewhat modern patina and execution hints at a 20th-century creation, inspired by classical antiquity but executed with contemporary techniques.

The lower part of the artwork includes an area that seems smoother, perhaps intended to host inscribed text, though it is unclear if this section was intended to represent a historical document or simply serve as a balance to the more textured upper part of the relief. The signature or hallmark visible in the close-up photo—though partially legible—could potentially help in identifying the artist. The characters could indicate a name or symbol, but further research would be required to cross-reference it with known artists specializing in metal reliefs or historical reproductions.
