The sculpture is a circular medal featuring a profile portrait of a man with distinct facial features and closely cropped curly hair, wearing a high-collared garment. It is made from a bronze-colored material. The portrait is raised from the surface, creating a three-dimensional effect against the flat background. Inscriptions encircle the portrait around the medal's edge, with the words "LEONELLVS MARCHIO ESTENSIS" visible, alongside decorative elements like laurel leaves. A small hole at the top edge suggests the piece may have been intended for display or worn.
