The sculpture is a round medallion with a profile portrait of a man facing right. The man has detailed facial features, wears a clerical hat and ornate robes. The sculpture is a warm, earthy brown, suggesting a material like bronze. The portrait is intricate and lifelike, with textured robes and a defined face. The outer edge of the medallion has a border of dots and text inscribed along the edge, framing the portrait.
