The Inner Temple is one of the four London Inns of Court - professional associations of barristers - grouped around the Royal Courts of Justice in London.  The winged horse 'Pegasus' on the reverse of the medal is copied from an eighteenth century relief sculpture by J.M. Rysbrack of 'Pegasus' which is housed at the Inner Temple.\n\nIt is made by Ernest Gillick (1874-1951), a sculptor and medallist, who studied at the Nottingham School of Art.  He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1904 and was elected an ARA in 1935.  Much of his work is in the form of busts, statuettes, reliefs and decorative objects, but he also produced pieces on a grander scale, for example for the exterior of the V&A (1904).  He designed the reverses of a number of British service medals and the Royal Academy prize medal of 1936.  He married fellow sculptor and medallist Mary  (1881-1965), who modelled the head of Queen Elizabeth II for the first issue of coins of that reign (1953) in 1905, and shared a studio with her.","physicalDescription":"Circular bronze medal","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Ernest Gillick","id":"A17574"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Bronze","id":"AAT10957"}],"techniques":[{"text":"casting","id":"AAT53104"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Bronze, die-struck","categories":[{"text":"Coins & Medals","id":"THES48974"},{"text":"Myths & Legends","id":"THES49005"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"SCP","id":"THES48600"},"images":["2007BN0703","2007BN0704","2007BN0701"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"034","id":"THES395421"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Medal","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1918","earliest":"1918-01-01","latest":"1918-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Ms Katherine Smith and the family of the late Ernest Gillick","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"50","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""},{"content":"Reverse 'MCMXIV- MCMXVIII' and 'EG'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"Given by Ms Katherine Smith and the family of Ernest Gillick in 2005.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Medal, bronze, circular, commemorating Inner Temple / First World War, by Ernest Gillick, Britain, 1918","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[{"text":"First World War","id":"V154"}],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"Winged horse","id":"x35845"}],"contentConcepts":[{"text":"commemoration","id":"x36148"}],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["A.31-2005"],"accessionNumberNum":"31","accessionNumberPrefix":"A","accessionYear":2005,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE","Obverse","Reverse"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-11-13","recordCreationDate":"2006-05-18","availableToBook":true}}
