The sculpture features a bas-relief medal with the profile of a man wearing detailed formal attire. The man is depicted in a right-facing profile with closely cropped hair and a prominent nose. He is adorned with a richly decorated collar or vestment. Inscriptions in raised lettering surround the profile, reading "PAVLVS II VENETVS PONT MAX." The material of the sculpture is likely bronze, giving it a deep, warm brown color with variations in tone. The craftsmanship suggests attention to antiquity and tradition.
