The sculpture is a detailed medal featuring a bust portrait of a bearded man, shown in profile facing right. The man is wearing a hat and a coat with a fur lining along with intricately detailed clothing. Surrounding the portrait, there is a border of text, likely denoting the man's name or title. The sculpture is made of metal, likely bronze, with a rich golden-brown hue and darker accents emphasizing the recesses of the design. This medal resembles historical coins or commemorative pieces, showing high detail in the facial features and texture of the attire.
