The sculpture depicts an older man wearing a flat hat and ornate clothing in profile. The man is looking to the left, showing detailed facial features including a prominent nose and lips. The sculpture is made of bronze, giving it a metallic brown color with visible patina. Engraved inscriptions run along the edges of the circular form, which likely offer context or identification. The sculpture is designed as a medallion with a hole near the edge for suspension or display.
