The sculpture is a round medallion with a profile relief of a man's head and shoulders. The man is depicted wearing a headband or cap over long hair. The medallion is crafted in a brown metallic material, possibly bronze or copper, with a greenish patina. Inscriptions adorn the edge of the medallion, framing the man's profile. The design is ornate and detailed, resembling classical medallions used in ancient or Renaissance portraiture.
