The image shows a round sculpture resembling a medallion or coin. The subject is a profile portrait of a person with long, wavy hair wearing a soft cap or beret. The material appears to be bronze or a similar metal, with a brownish, patinated surface. The sculpture is small with a hole near the top edge, potentially for suspension. There is an inscription around the edge in raised lettering, forming a continuous border around the portrait.
