The image shows a bronze medallion sculpted in relief with a classical female figure at its center. She is depicted standing in a dynamic pose, adorned in flowing drapery, and holding a chalice in her left hand while raising her right hand with her index finger pointing upwards. The material is bronze with a rich patina, giving it a brownish appearance. Surrounding the figure is a circular band of text in Latin, reading "DV M SPIRITVS HOS REGET ARTVS" in capital letters. The medallion appears small and delicate, with detailed features and attire, and has a small hole near the top.
