The sculpture depicts a relief portrait of a man's head in profile, facing left, with curly hair. The sculpture is a metallic bronze color and is crafted with a circular shape and an elaborate raised border. The inscriptions on the perimeter read "IVLIANVS * MEDICI * MAGNVS." The sculpture shows detailed texture on the hair and facial features, reflecting careful craftsmanship and a historic aesthetic.
