The sculpture is a medallion featuring a profile portrait of a man with prominent facial features and a receding hairline. The man is depicted in a side view, with a strong nose, pronounced chin, and detailed ear engraving. This medallion is crafted from bronze, giving it a rich, brownish color with a warm metallic sheen. The surface displays a subtle texture. Around the profile, there is a border with an inscription in a classical font. The sculpture is a round medallion about the size of a large coin, focusing on the representation of the man in a solemn pose in a historical style.
