The sculpture is a relief portrait on a round medallion. It depicts a woman in profile facing right with elaborate hair, flowers, draped garment, beaded necklace. It appears to be made from dark golden-brown metal, likely bronze. The details of her hair, clothing, and accessories suggest fine craftsmanship. There is an inscription surrounding the profile, possibly indicating the person's name or title. The medallion resembles a historical artifact, like a coin or commemorative piece.
