medallion
Circular hanging ornament
A medallion is a large medal or medal-shaped ornament, typically worn as jewelry on a chain around the neck.
The term extends to any circular decorative element: a medallion of beef is a round cut of meat, and architectural medallions are circular ornamental features on walls or ceilings.
In some U.S. cities, a taxi medallion is the license permitting a cab to operate.
