The sculpture is a circular gilded relief with a raised design featuring a profile portrait of a human head at its center. This central image is illustrated in vibrant shades of blue and green, depicting a person's head in profile with short hair, within a quatrefoil-shaped frame. The overall sculpture appears to be made of a metal that has been gilded, giving it a rich gold color. The background intricate pattern consists of geometric shapes, including crosses and lozenge forms, all embossed or engraved into the surface, creating a textured, three-dimensional appearance. The outer edge of the sculpture is bordered by a beaded pattern. It appears mounted on a dark background which enhances the golden hue of the metal.
