The image shows a relief sculpture of a male figure in profile view. The figure has curly hair with a laurel wreath, and is depicted wearing an intricately designed garment with a lion's head relief on the shoulder. The sculpture appears to be made of metal, possibly bronze, with a circular shape. Engraved text reads "IOSEPH I D G" and "ROM ET HVNG REX" around the perimeter.
