The sculpture is a circular relief medallion featuring the profile portrait of a man facing right. He is shown from the chest up, dressed in period attire with a hat that has ornate detailing. The clothing is detailed with patterns, suggesting a luxurious fabric. The medallion is made of a metallic material with a bronze or dark grayish hue, giving it an antique look. The edges of the medallion are inscribed with text, which frames the portrait.
