The sculpture is a portrait medallion depicting a woman with long flowing hair, draped in a garment that exposes her shoulders and part of her chest. Her face is turned slightly to the side with a contemplative expression. The medallion is circular and features the inscription "DIVA FAVSTINA" around the edges. The sculpture appears to be made of a bronze material, giving it a dark golden color with a weathered, antique finish. The overall appearance is that of a classical bust, with the woman emerging in relief from the flat circular medallion, showing attention to detail in her facial features and hair. The piece has a three-dimensional quality, highlighting the engraving and casting skill used to create the lifelike representation.
