The sculpture is a round bronze medallion featuring a profile portrait of a man with curly hair and a prominent beard looking to the right. He is dressed in detailed clothing, including a prominent collar. The medallion is a rich golden bronze color that highlights the texture of the man's facial hair and attire. The border of the medallion features an inscription, "PETRVS IEAMIN REG CHRISTA SECR CONS ET SAC AERA P" in raised lettering encircling the figure. The sculpture, captured on a round flat surface, resembles a large coin or medallion, designed to preserve the likeness and status of the person depicted.
