The sculpture is of a seated figure holding a sword with a lion beside them. The figure is dressed in elaborate attire suggesting a historical or classical style. The color of the sculpture is a patinated bronze, giving it a greenish-brown appearance. The oval sculpture resembles a medallion or coin, with text around the figure including "VENETIA" and "MAGNA." There are smaller text and markings at the bottom. The sculpture appears compact, similar to a large coin, with meticulous and intricate detailing.
