The sculpture is a relief profile portrait of a man named Ioannes Jovianus Pontanus, as indicated by the text encircling the edge of the piece. The subject is depicted from the shoulders up, facing to the left, with detailed features such as a balding head with curly hair and a sharp nose. The sculpture is made of bronze, giving it a brownish metallic color with an aged patina finish. The medal-like format of the sculpture indicates that it is designed to be observed closely, much like a coin, with the relief elements standing out prominently against the background.
