The sculpture is on a circular medallion representing a human figure. The figure is in a dynamic pose, holding a staff or spear in the right hand and a large shield in the left arm. The figure is draped in flowing garments, emphasizing movement. The material is metallic with a brownish-bronze color and aged patina. The medallion has text inscribed around the border and small holes at the top and bottom. The overall size is small and portable, showing detailed craftsmanship and lettering.
