The sculpture depicted on this medallion features a scene with three human figures and possibly an animal. At the center is a seated, nude woman with long hair, whose body is partially turned sideways. She is interacting with a smaller, kneeling figure to her left, who is wearing a helmet reminiscent of classical attire. Standing to the woman's right is another figure draped in flowing garments, raising an arm and holding something above their head. The sculpture exhibits rich, earthy tones characteristic of a bronze material, giving it a brownish-golden hue. The details on the figures suggest a classic and historical style, with intricate detailing of the figures' hair and garments. Encircling the figures are the inscribed words "VERITAS ODIVM PARIT."
