The image shows a round medallion with a profile relief of a man wearing a hat and historical European attire, possibly from the Renaissance period. The sculpture appears to be made of bronze or a similar metal with a patina. There is an inscription around the edge with the name "THOMAS BOR" and the numeral "MCCCCIII." The man's facial features and clothing are intricately detailed, creating a realistic portrayal that stands out from the flat background of the medallion.
