The sculpture is a round medallion inscribed with text in French. The text relates to the translation of the body of Turenne to the Temple of Mars and references a directive by Bonaparte mentioning the 53rd complementary day of the 8th year of the Consulate and Lucien Bonaparte as the Minister of the Interior. The medallion is made of a reddish-brown material, likely bronze or a similar metal, as suggested by its color and reflective surface. The letters are raised and stand out against the slightly darker background, creating a clear visual contrast that makes the inscriptions easily legible when viewed directly. The overall appearance is that of a historical commemorative object.
