The sculpture is a medallion featuring a relief portrait of a man in profile, facing left. The subject has long curly hair that falls to his neck and wears a garment with a pleated collar. The material of the medallion appears to be a dark metal, possibly bronze or a similar alloy, with some areas showing slight wear or patina. Around the edge of the medallion, there is an inscription in raised letters which seems to be the name of the subject. The overall appearance of the medallion, with its detailed relief work and classical style, resembles an ancient coin or commemorative piece, providing a static representation of the individual depicted.
