Grey metal plaque with a relief sculpture of a young girl's head and shoulders. The girl has her hair pulled back into a low ponytail. She wears a collared shirt or dress with a bow at the neck. The word "CLAERCHEN" is engraved at the bottom of the plaque. The plaque has two small metal rivets at the top, one on each side. The background of the plaque has a textured surface with visible scratches and marks. The plaque casts a shadow on a white surface to the right.
