The image shows a sculptural medallion featuring a portrait in profile of a man facing to the right. The subject is depicted with long, wavy hair and is wearing a cap. The man’s facial features are finely detailed, including a prominent nose and pronounced cheekbones. The medallion is made of a dark, bronze-colored material, which gives it an antique appearance. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription in raised letters along the edge of the circular medallion.
