The sculpture is a bas-relief medallion with a bearded figure in profile. The individual wears detailed attire with intricate patterns indicating high status. The material appears to be patinated bronze, giving the medallion an antique gold hue. It is round with engraved text around the outer edge and decorative dots framing the text. The craftsmanship is detailed, especially in the hair, beard, and clothing. This portrait medallion likely commemorates an important historical figure.
