The sculpture is a circular medallion with a raised depiction of a man in profile, identified as "Kleber" from an inscription along the left side. The man has wavy hair, a strong jawline, and a thoughtful expression. He is dressed in a historical military uniform with intricate patterns and a cravat around his neck. The sculpture is made of a dark, bronze-like metal with a shiny yet rustic appearance. The medallion is smooth with detailed facial features and clothing textures in high relief. The signature "DAVID" and a date are engraved on the right side.
