The sculpture is a relief on a circular bronze medal, showing a mounted figure of a person in armor riding a horse. The horse is detailed with muscles, and the rider is wearing a helmet. The medal has a dark, reddish-brown color with green patina, indicating age. There are additional details on the surface, such as a celestial symbol resembling a sun and a floral motif. An inscription "OPVS PISANI PICTORIS" is integrated into the design. The relief sculpture is raised slightly from the flat disc.
