The sculpture features a finely etched portrait of a man wearing a ruff collar, typical of attire from the 16th to 17th centuries. The sculpture is circular and appears to be made of a metallic material, possibly silver or a similar alloy, with a slightly tarnished surface. The portrait is in profile showing intricate details in the facial features and hair. There is an inscription along the edge in a ring around the image. The style of the engraving and the composition of the portrait convey a historical context. The man appears to be a person of status or importance. The surrounding text is part of the sculptural design.
