The image shows a relief on a circular medal or coin. It depicts a scene with a central figure riding a chariot pulled by two horses. The figure stands on the chariot with a cloak flowing behind him, holding an object like a staff or scepter. Adjacent to the chariot, there are human figures standing behind a simple barrier and additional figures below the horses. The sculpture is made of bronze or a similar dark metal, with an aged patina and lighter highlights. The piece is on a plain dark background.
