The sculpture features a circular medal decorated with intricate relief work. In the center, there is a depiction of a classical figure seated to the right. She is adorned with a gown and a decorative helmet, holding a staff in one hand and a shield with floral motifs in the other. Beside her is a leafy tree, and to its left, an ornately carved altar or pedestal emits flames. The entire composition is crafted in bronze, giving the piece a rich, metallic brown appearance. The details are finely engraved, revealing careful artistry in the depiction of the foliage, the figure, and the flames. The surrounding edge of the medal is smooth, and at the bottom, the inscription "MARME SCULP" is visible.
