The image shows a sculptural medallion with a profile of a man with distinctive wavy hair styled into a bob, adorned with intricately carved curls. He is dressed in a detailed garment with decorative patterns around the collar. The medallion is a warm brown color, suggesting it is made of bronze or a similar metallic material. The outer edge of the medallion has an inscription. The medallion is relatively small and has a hole at the top.
