Sculptor, American, 1865 - 1925

The relief portrait depicts a person's profile with facial and upper body details. The subject has distinct facial features and a neatly arranged hairstyle, potentially with a head covering or elaborate hair design. The sculpture is carved into a circular medallion with a raised profile. The material of the sculpture is a weathered bronze or copper alloy, with a reddish-brown color and patches of greenish patina indicating oxidation. These weathering effects give the sculpture a historical and aged appearance, reflecting its physical transformation over time due to exposure to environmental elements.
