The image depicts a circular bronze medallion titled "Dubia Fortuna" by Moderno. The medallion features a raised relief scene of a man on horseback, wearing armor and a helmet, and holding a shield and sword. The horse is rearing up on its hind legs. The man appears to be attacking or fighting off a lion or similar animal that is on the ground in front of the horse. The animal has its mouth open and appears to be biting the horse. The background of the medallion shows a landscape with what appears to be trees or foliage. The text "BVONFORTV" is raised along the top edge. The medallion has a dark brown patina and appears to be old and worn, with visible signs of aging and wear. The background behind the medallion is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
