The sculpture is a bas-relief on a circular medallion featuring the profile of a male figure wearing a tall, textured hat and a formal garment with visible buttons. The subject faces right with a distinguished and noble look. The piece is made of a dark, metallic brown material, resembling patinated bronze. The surrounding surface has engraved text circling the medallion, indicating its commemorative or identifying aspects. The relief has a textured and weathered appearance, typical of traditional coin or medallion portraits, standing out against the flat background. The medallion is handheld comfortably.
