The sculpture is a circular medallion featuring a profile portrait of a man with distinctive facial features and a fur hat. The piece is crafted from a material that appears to be bronze. There is an inscription around the perimeter of the medallion, with the text following the curve of the edge. The man’s features are rendered in a realistic style with detailed treatment of the fur texture on the hat and the folds of his clothing. The medallion's raised relief and detailed work are visible. The sculpture has some areas where the surface shows tarnishing or patina.
