We present a unique, one-of-a-kind design of a medal dedicated to Lech Wałęsa on the anniversary of the Nobel Prize award. This is an extremely rare collector's item, combining history, art, and the symbolism of the fight for freedom. The work was made on special order by the esteemed artist Jacek Kiliński, whose work has been recognized for years among collectors and enthusiasts of Polish applied art.
The set consists of four brass plaques and a glass disc approximately 10 cm in diameter with an engraved likeness of the laureate. One of the plaques contains a poem by Czesław Miłosz – a poet and Nobel laureate – which adds an additional, deeply symbolic dimension to the whole. The entire piece is a conceptual design, probably made in the form of a model or pattern, making it absolutely unique on the antique market.
Jacek Kiliński is a versatile artist specializing in medallic art, plaques, ryngrafy (religious shield-shaped pendants), and amulets. His works are characterized by attention to detail, deep symbolism, and references to history and tradition. This design is a true gem for collectors of memorabilia from NSZZ "Solidarność", Warsaw enthusiasts, lovers of Polish design, and those interested in the work of Jacek Kiliński.
Condition: Very good, as for an art design. Visible subtle signs of age, giving the item an authentic character.
