The image shows a roundel sculpture featuring a human figure at its center. The figure is seated with an elaborate headdress and raised arms, potentially holding an object above their head. The sculpture is in relief with detailed facial features and clothing. It is primarily gold with accents of red and black, likely from gilding and painted embellishments. The material seems to be a metal, possibly bronze or copper alloy, seen from the oxidized rim and dark patina underneath. The roundel has a raised edge framing the relief figure. It appears as a small circular ornament or medallion, possibly for personal adornment or decoration.
