The image shows a circular medallion with a double portrait of two figures in profile, likely female. The figures are dressed in detailed hooded garments resembling robes. The medallion is made of a silver or pewter-like metallic material. Inscribed text around the edge reads "MAGHTILD VON SEEDORF 1286 ANNA SEILER 1354." The high-relief work highlights the facial expressions and clothing drapery.
