The sculpture is a round, coin-like medal featuring a side profile of a man with shoulder-length wavy hair and wearing a beret. The figure's facial features are rendered in relief, giving a three-dimensional appearance. The subject's attire includes draped clothing with visible folds. The sculpture is made of a dark metallic material with signs of oxidation and a greenish patina. The color scheme is predominantly dark with highlights of bronze or copper tones accentuating the sculpted details. Around the edge, there is an inscription in raised letters. The sculpture is small and detailed, similar to what one might find on a historic coin or medallion, making it an intimate and precise work meant to be viewed up close.
