The sculpture is a medallion with an embossed profile of a man with a curly beard and short curly hair, depicted in a classical artistic style. The man is wearing a garment with a high collar. The medallion is primarily gold in color, with Latin inscriptions along the outer edge. The overall appearance suggests a regal and sophisticated style typical of traditional portraiture found in commemorative coins or medals.
