The sculpture is a medallion featuring a highly detailed coat of arms at its center. The circular design showcases heraldic symbols including shields and patterns enclosed by decorative drapery. Surrounding the coat of arms is a Latin inscription running along the edge of the medallion. The material of the sculpture appears to be metal, with a bronze or copper-like color. The textural details and raised relief of the symbols suggest careful craftsmanship in its creation, highlighting its historical or heraldic significance.
