The sculpture depicted on the medal is of a standing figure dressed in flowing robes, holding a goblet in one hand and a ladder tucked under the other arm. The material of the sculpture appears to be a reddish-brown metal, likely bronze. The figure is detailed, with a sense of movement suggested by the drapery of the robes. The background of the medal is inscribed with “ANNO DOMINI M D LVI PONT SVI.” The scene is set within the circular boundary of a coin-like object with a small hole at the top.
