This is a round medallion sculpture depicting the profile of a bearded man wearing a cap facing left. The material appears to be bronze with a weathered reddish-brown patina. The surface texture is slightly rough, and there is a raised inscription around the edge. The medallion is about the size of a large coin with a small hole near the top for display or hanging.
