The sculpture is a round, medallion-like relief depicting the side profile of a man with styled hair and a beard. The man is dressed in a high-collared garment, possibly with intricate details. The sculpture is a bronze or copper-toned material, giving it a brown color with a slightly weathered appearance. The surface is detailed with textured hair and clothing. An inscription at the edge includes the name "JOACHA CASTRO" among other letters. The sculpture has a small hole near the top.
