Item Overview
Description:
This indicates it was a personalized award, "For Art", presented to Ingeborg Sandberg in 1891. Such medals were often issued by Imperial art academies, gymnasiums, or cultural societies (for example, the Imperial Academy of Arts or various municipal art schools).
This likely refers to a private or municipal art or horticultural institution — possibly the Nemetti Garden School (Сад Неметти) — founded or directed by V. A. Linskoy-Nemetti, whose name appears on other period educational and horticultural awards. Such institutions commonly issued small brass or bronze medals to honor merit in art, craft, or garden design.
