His work is characterized by its detailed craftsmanship and expressive figures. This example depicts an angel, standing on a vanquished demon, surrounded by flames. The inscription on the medal reads "LOXVRIDERESTAVRATORDE NAVARESIDELORDESMICHEL1469LOXVRIDERE", which translates to "The Restorer of Navarre, Lord of Michel, 1469."
