The sculpture is a relief depiction of a bearded figure seated on clouds reaching out towards a smaller winged figure. The larger figure is seated in a side profile and appears to be holding or extending something towards the smaller figure, who stands with one leg raised. Both figures are intricately detailed in a classical style. The sculpture is rendered in a bronze color, indicative of a metallic material, and its circular form along with the hole at the top suggests it may be part of a medallion or medal. The detailing on the figures' flowing garments and wings, as well as their dynamic interaction, create a sense of movement and narrative within the confines of the circular space.
