The sculpture is a profile portrait of a man wearing a cap, looking to the right. The man has a prominent nose and defined chin, with detailed features and clothing etched into the surface. It is displayed on a circular medallion. The color of the sculpture is metallic silver, indicating it is likely made from a metal such as silver or pewter. The material has a slightly rough texture with visible scratches and aging marks, enhancing its antique appearance. There is an inscription in a circular format around the edges of the medallion. The overall appearance is reminiscent of historical coinage or medallions.
