The sculpture is a profile relief of a human face, displaying a man with long, straight, slightly wavy hair falling to the neck. The subject has a prominent nose, a defined chin, and a calm expression. The sculpture is made of bronze, with a dark brown color and subtle highlights where the light strikes. The face is encased in a round, coin-like medallion. The surrounding inscription reads "PETRI BEMBI," potentially indicating the subject's identity. The style of the sculpture is reminiscent of classical or Renaissance medallions.
