Faint pencil annotation above emblem, likely reading 'Anatomy'.
Artist signature 'STEVENSON 11/48' at bottom right of the emblem border.
An ornate black and white emblem for the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Department of Gross Anatomy. The central illustration features a human skull resting atop an open book; the visible page of the book displays an anatomical diagram of the human torso. A pair of mathematical dividers (compass) is placed on the book. To the right, a hand emerges holding a lit torch. Below the skull and book is a laurel wreath bound by a ribbon. The scene is framed by stylized banners and a central rectangular plaque at the bottom. The entire design is enclosed in a double-lined border with notched corners.
