National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a medallion with a side profile of a figure, likely female, featuring distinct facial features and styled hair with tight curls around the head. The figure is adorned in textured clothing with a decorative collar. The medallion is made of a copper-colored material. Engraved text surrounds the figure. There is a hole near the top, possibly for use as a pendant. The size of the figure in relation to the medallion provides insight into the portraiture style of its time.
