National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief portrait on a coin, featuring a man in profile facing right. He appears to be an older man with curly hair and a beard, wearing textured clothing. An inscription around his head reads "VIGLIUS ZVICHEMUS AB AYTA LV." The coin, likely bronze, has a brown color with highlights and shadows. The relief design and lettering are finely carved, resembling historical medallions. The coin's surface shows signs of wear, adding to its historical look.
