The sculpture is a circular bas-relief medallion featuring the profile of a man's head and shoulders. The subject is wearing a headband and a garment that appears to be a robe. The man has distinct facial features, such as a prominent nose and chin, and a perceptible expression due to the detailed carving. The sculpture is made from a bronze-colored metal, giving it an aged, brownish patina. The medallion includes inscriptions surrounding the head. Overall, the medallion is designed to be seen from the front, with the profile of the man facing left, and there is a small hole at the top likely intended for hanging or attachment.
