The sculpture on the round surface depicts a scene with an individual and two oxen working, possibly plowing a field. Above them is a winged figure and rays emanating from the sun. The surface is etched with the text "VIRTUTE PARTA DEO ET LABORE." The sculpture is made of a material resembling bronze, with a weathered appearance. The detailed texture and carvings provide depth and a three-dimensional effect to the image against the flat background. The outer rim features an ornate design.
