The sculpture depicts the profile of a bearded man with short, wavy hair, facing left. The contours of his face and neck are defined, and he is adorned in a draped garment. The material of the sculpture appears to be a bronze-like metal, giving it a warm, brown color with slightly lighter highlights. The surface of the medallion is smooth, with the raised features of the man standing out in relief. Surrounding the profile are inscriptions along the edge, set in an uppercase Roman-style font. The circular form of the sculpture resembles a medallion or coin, with the bust centered and framed by a beaded border.
