The image displays a sculpted medallion featuring the profile of a man with a long beard and curly hair. The man is wearing intricately detailed clothing with a chain or rope-like embellishment around the neck. The medallion is circular and bronze in color, possibly made of metal. The inscription "DIVVS PETRVS ARETINVS" is carved along the perimeter in a classical serif font. The man's head and shoulders are in relief against a slightly recessed background. Fine details in the hair, beard, and clothing enhance the realism of the sculpture.
