The image depicts a bronze medallion featuring a profile of a sculpted figure. The figure wears ornate attire and a crown, showing intricate details in the hair, intricate garment patterns, and a circular necklace. The medallion has a warm, aged patina with varying brown and golden hues. An inscription encircles the edge, and a loop at the top suggests it may be used as a pendant.
