The sculpture is a round, coin-like medallion featuring a profile portrait of a man wearing a cap and a robe with a high collar. The material of the sculpture appears to be bronze, as indicated by its patina and wear patterns. The medallion has a series of letters carved into the border, framing the image. The sculpture captures details such as the man's facial expression and the texture of his clothing in a semi-realistic style.
