The sculpture is a relief portrait of a man shown in profile facing left. The man has distinct facial features, including a prominent nose, a strong jawline, and detailed, textured hair. His attire includes a piece of draped fabric over his shoulders with a visible fastener at the shoulder. The sculpture is round and made of a brownish metal, likely bronze, with an aged appearance including areas that are smoother and areas that show a darker patina. There is a small hole at the bottom of the sculpture, suggesting it might have served as a medallion or was intended to be mounted or worn. The craftsmanship of the piece suggests intricate detailing of the subject's features.
