The image shows a medallion with a raised relief sculpture of a man's bust in profile. The man has curly hair and is dressed in period clothing, including a coat with buttons and braided details on the shoulder. The medallion is round with an engraved border and inscriptions along the top and bottom. It appears to be made of a metallic material, likely bronze or brass, with a loop at the top for wearing as a pendant. The man in the sculpture has an upward gaze.
