The sculpture is a medallion featuring the profile of a man's head. The subject is an older male with a bald head and distinctive facial features, depicted in a profile view facing to the right. The material of the medallion is a metallic substance with a bronze-like coloration. Around the edge of the medallion, there is an inscription in a Latin-like language. The details of the face and the inscription suggest precise craftsmanship. The medallion is shown against a black background. The artwork, with its size similar to a large coin, seems reminiscent of historical commemorative pieces.
