The sculpture depicted on this round object features a scene with a winged horse and a chariot rider prominently. The winged horse is mid-gallop, showcasing its powerful limbs and wings spread as if in flight. The rider is captured with flowing garments and is holding what appears to be a staff or torch, indicating movement. Surrounding the central figures are intricate clouds and elements that suggest a sky or celestial scene. The sculpture is colored in a rich bronze, indicative of metal, giving the object an antique appearance. A raised, beaded border encircles the rim, adding to the ornate detail, and text in a classical font girds the top edge.
