The sculpture is circular and resembles a medallion or relief. It features a seated figure of a warrior or deity in a commanding pose. The subject is adorned in classical armor with intricate detailing showing a mix of muscular and fabric textures. The warrior holds a shield with elaborate designs and is surrounded by ornate elements, including a helmet and spears. The entire piece is crafted from a material with a gold appearance, giving it a metallic sheen. The sculpture's circular form and small holes suggest it may have been a decorative attachment.
