The sculpture is a circular medallion featuring two raised profiles of figures. The figures are depicted in a side-by-side arrangement facing to the right. The man is wearing a textured hat and a garment with a high collar, while the woman is adorned with a woven or wrapped hat and a necklace. The medallion is thin and has a small hole at the top. The color of the medallion is grayish, suggesting it might be made of stone or a weathered metal. The surface of the medallion is textured and uneven, with inscriptions encircling the border.
