The sculpture is a round medallion featuring the etched outline of a figure. The figure appears to be a woman wearing a headpiece and holding a bouquet of flowers. The facial features and attire are lightly carved into the surface. The sculpture is made of a dark material and shows signs of wear such as scratches and chips. It is small enough to fit in the palm of an average hand, suggesting it could be used as a personal or decorative object.
