The sculpture is a circular medallion with a symmetrical, geometric design. The design features a central motif resembling a stylized flower or star, with eight triangular shapes radiating outward, each adorned with smaller triangular patterns. The sculpture is made of a material with a reddish-brown clay-like appearance. The texture appears slightly rough, giving it a handcrafted aesthetic. Positioned centrally on a plain background, the medallion has a three-dimensional relief. The name "FRITZ BOEHMER" is printed below the sculpture on the background.
