The sculpture is a relief profile of a man's head on a round medallion. The subject has detailed hair and a beard, with a dignified expression, and is wearing a garment with a high collar. The sculpture seems to be made of metal, showing a dark, reddish-brown patina with greenish oxidation. It features intricate craftsmanship, with the man's features and garment texture finely depicted. An inscription is visible around the edge of the medallion.
