Thanks. The embossing on the medallion is a heightfield, using a grayscale
image, preferably with just shades of gray, except for the background, which
should be black. Here's the scene file that Moray wrote:

sphere { // Sphere001
  <0,0,0>,1
  material {
    T_Solid_Color
  }
  hollow
  scale 50.0
}


plane { // Plane001
  z,0
  material {
    RGcheckers
  }
  translate  -8.0*z
}


#declare CSG002 = merge {
  torus { // Torus001
    3.15, 0.35  rotate -x*90
    material {
      Crystal
    }
    rotate 90.0*x
  }
  torus { // Torus002
    0.75, 0.25  rotate -x*90
    material {
      Crystal
    }
    rotate -90.0*x
    translate  3.9*z
  }
}
#declare HgtFld001 = object {
  height_field {
    tga "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My
Documents\3D\MorayTribute\Copy of Steve.tga"
    water_level 0.0
  }
  rotate    <-90, 0, 0> // Turn onto XY plane. Now points along -Z
  scale     <  2, 2,-2> // Scale to Cube size. Now points along +Z
  translate < -1,-1,-1> // Center around origin
  material {
    Crystal
  }
  scale <1.0, 1.0, 0.1>
  translate  <-0.052715, 0.031629, -0.0>
}
#declare CSG001 = intersection {
  object { HgtFld001 }
  cylinder { // Cylndr001
    <0,0,1>, <0,0,0>, 1
    material {
      Crystal
    }
    scale <1.0, 1.0, 0.2>
    translate  -0.1*z
  }
  scale 3.0
  rotate 90.0*x
}
union { // CSG003
  object { CSG002 }
  object { CSG001 }
}
