The sculpture depicts a portrait of a man in profile, facing to the right. He is wearing an intricately detailed garment with floral patterns. The man's hair is styled in a bowl cut. The sculpture is cast in a brownish bronze material. Around the edge of the round sculpture, there is an inscription in a capitalized font. The relief format allows the detailed features of the man’s facial profile and clothing to be highlighted against the smooth rest of the material. The size and angle of the sculpture suggest that it is a medal or medallion designed to be viewed closely by an observer.
