The image shows a circular, intricately designed mask-like medallion with a pair of stylized animal figures positioned back-to-back. The sculpture is grey with darker shadows, suggesting a metal material. The detailed design includes ribbed or feather-like details, curving lines, circular elements for eyes and body segments, creating a symmetrical and somewhat abstract representation. The sculpture measures approximately two inches in diameter, with a scale bar in the lower left corner. A simple drawing of a mounting or stand is included, indicating possible display. The artwork is bordered by a single line and signed "F. Choate" in the lower right corner.
