Commentary

Il doit probablement s’agir d’une fonte postérieure (XVIIIe siècle) étant donné sa tranche d’aspect lisse.
Ludovico III Gonzaga (1414-1478), second marquis de Mantoue.
It must probably be a later cast (18th century) given its smooth edge. Ludovico III Gonzaga (1414-1478), second Marquis of Mantua
