The sculpture features a bird standing on a platform with an olive branch in its beak, intricately embossed in the center of a circular medallion. The material seems to be bronze, giving it a brownish-gold hue with a slightly weathered texture. Engraved along the edge of the medallion are the words "PEACE ON EARTH AMONG MEN OF GOOD WILL." The depiction shows detailed feathers of the dove and the outlines of the olive leaves.
