The image shows a circular metal medallion featuring a raised sculptural image at its center. The central subject is a nude male figure in a contrapposto pose, holding a lyre in one hand and drapery in the other, leaning against a tree trunk. The medallion appears to be made of bronze or a similar metal with a reddish-brown patina. Surrounding the figure are smaller circular portraits, an animal, and Latin text around the rim. The medallion has a beaded edge and the year '1608' inscribed near the bottom. The sculpture is detailed and shows classical influences.
