The relief medallion depicts a scene with numerous figures, including humans and horses. The figures are intricately carved and densely packed. An elevated figure atop a pedestal serves as a focal point. The color of the medallion is a warm bronze. The carvings are worn and blend into the overall texture. The medallion is slightly convex with a beaded border. It features detailed illustrations of human and equine figures in various poses around a central column, which is inscribed with the text "MARTI PAV...ORI".
