There is a round medallion featuring a sculpture of a seated male figure in a flowing, draped garment that reveals a muscular form. The figure appears to be in motion, with one arm extended and the other bent close to the body. The medallion is made of a bronze or similarly colored metal, with green oxidation patination. The raised relief work of the figure is detailed, displaying a classical style. The inscriptions on the border read "CELITVM" and "BENEVOLEN." A small hole on the right side suggests it may have been worn or used as a pendant.
