National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a circular medallion featuring a side profile of a male figure with prominent facial features like a pronounced nose and cheekbones. The man is adorned in formal attire, with an ornate robe displaying visible patterns and a hat that has a forward-protruding design. The medallion appears to be made of metal with a brownish patina. An inscription in capital letters wraps around the edge of the medallion. The medallion has a textured surface, and a small circular hole near the top suggests it may have been intended for suspension.
