The image shows a round, flat medallion with a profile portrait of a man looking to the right. The man is wearing a period garment with an ornate design at the front. The sculpture seems to be made of bronze or a similar metal, as indicated by its brownish color. Around the portrait, there is an inscription in capital letters, possibly in Latin. The edges of the medallion have small dot-like designs for decoration. The surface of the medallion appears slightly worn, hinting at its age or historical importance.
