The sculpture is a small, circular relief featuring the profile of a man looking to the left. He is depicted with a hat and a coat. The material of the sculpture appears to be metal, possibly bronze or a similar alloy, given its golden brown color with darker accents in the recessed areas. The surface shows signs of wear and patina. The craftsmanship is detailed, capturing the contours of the face and clothing with engraved lines and patterns. The sculpture contains two holes for mounting or attachment, one at the top and one at the bottom. The relief stands slightly out from the flat back of the medallion, creating a three-dimensional effect against its flat circular base.
