The sculpture is a bronze-like circular medal with an engraved design of a pelican feeding its young, a traditional motif. Surrounding the central image are inscriptions in Latin, reading "OMNIS.HVMANITATIS.PATER.MATHEMATICYS.PICTO.ET. PISANI. OPVS" around the circumference. The medal has a metallic brown color with a slight patina, a smooth and slightly worn texture, and a small hole near the edge. The design centers on the relief of the pelican, with the surrounding text adding a decorative and informative element.
