The sculpture is a circular bronze medallion featuring a relief of a man, a woman, and a child. The man stands with a bundle of wheat draped over his shoulder and a calf beside him. The woman is seated on the ground, engaged with a child whom she holds up. The figures are stylized and portrayed in a simplified, classical manner. The surface of the medallion bears the inscription "FREEDOM FROM WANT AND FROM FEAR" around its border. The medallion is bronze-colored with texture variations that provide depth to the relief work.
