The sculpture is a circular medallion featuring the raised profile image of a woman, depicted with her hair tied back and wearing period-appropriate clothing, including a ruffled collar and a cloak. The medallion is made of a metallic material, likely bronze or a similar alloy, showcasing an aged patina with shades of deep brown and hints of green oxidation. The sculpture bears an inscription around the circumference in a serif font reading "IOANNA CAOLI V A G FIL LVSITAN." The detailing on the woman's garments and headdress demonstrates skilled craftsmanship, and the small hole at the top suggests the medallion was designed to be worn or displayed.
