The sculpture is a round medallion featuring the profile of a man with shoulder-length wavy hair, facing to the right. The medallion is crafted from a dark bronze or copper material. The man's attire suggests he may be from a historic era. Around the edge of the medallion, there is an inscription that reads "VINCENTIVS. M. RIPETRO. AN. D. F. AN.AE," with additional markings at the bottom. The medallion has a small hole near the top.
