The relief plaque features a central profile of a person surrounded by a laurel wreath. It includes text that reads "HWS T.C. ELIZABETH FURNACE 1779" at the top. The sculpture is made of a stone-like material with a soft gray color, possibly cast iron or similar metal. The sculpture is rectangular and seems to be designed to fit onto a flat surface, resembling a commemorative or decorative piece that might be affixed to a wall.
