The sculpture is a relief carving of a man's profile with wavy hair and detailed facial features. The subject is dressed in layered clothing with visible folds and textures. The material appears to be bronze with visible aging and patina. The relief is within a round medallion or coin-like form with encircling lettering, partially obscured. The sculpture showcases the subject in a dignified and formal representation, likely from a period where such portrayals were common for commemorating notable individuals.
