The sculpture portrays a round, flat medal featuring a profile portrait of a person with distinct facial features, including curly hair, a notable nose, and lips. The individual is depicted wearing a garment with a detailed collar and a head covering that drapes over the shoulders. The material of the sculpture appears to be a metallic substance, likely bronze or a similar alloy, giving it a dark brown or patinated silver appearance with a slightly shiny finish. The person is facing to the right, and the profile is crafted in a classical style, akin to ancient coins or medallions. The surrounding edge of the medal is smooth, creating a defined circular frame for the portrait.
