The sculpture depicts a profile portrait of a man with defined hair styling and a full beard, wearing a textured garment. It is a round medal or medallion with text around the circumference. The sculpture is in a bronze or copper color, indicating it is likely made from metal. The raised edges and detailed craftsmanship give it a coin-like appearance, with engravings around the edge and within the portrait.
