The sculpture is a relief medallion portraying a classical-style side profile of a man. The man is depicted with long, curly hair that flows beneath a cap, and he wears a tunic or robe with visible folds. The material of the medallion appears to be a dark metal with a bronze-like patina that highlights the contours and features of the profile. The surface shows subtle texturing and aging. The medallion is round, with a small hole near its top edge. Text is inscribed around the edge of the medallion. The detailed features of the man's profile, along with the inscribed lettering, make the sculpture visually engaging.
