The sculpture is a relief portrait of a man wearing a cap or hat, shown in profile facing to the right. He wears period clothing. It appears to be made of a reddish-brown metal, likely bronze, with a slightly oxidized surface. The relief has well-defined details. An inscription along the circumference suggests a commemorative purpose. The overall shape is circular, resembling a medallion or coin.
