The image displays an intricately carved circular medal or medallion with a relief sculpture. The central figures are engaged with each other over a small burning altar or brazier. One figure is sitting and the other is kneeling. There is a seated fully nude figure, facing another draped figure. In the background, there are two standing figures and a small statue on a pedestal depicting a cherub with outstretched arms. The sculpture has a metallic bronze hue, implying it is made of bronze. The surface is finely detailed, emphasizing the relief figures and surrounding elements. The piece is bordered with decorative scrollwork and bears inscriptions, notably "LCRII" along the bottom edge.
