The sculpture is a detailed relief featuring the profile of an elderly man with a prominent beard and hair, distinctively pointed ears. The man is shirtless and draped in textured cloth. His right hand is raised, with his index and middle fingers extended, while his left hand appears to be grasping a flask or a small vase. Beside him is a staff with a decorative element at the top. The sculpture is made from dark bronze material, giving it an antique appearance, with subtle highlights on the raised portions accentuating the details of his musculature and facial features. The piece is oval and slightly curved inward, with a small hole at the top.
