The sculpture features a bust of a man with distinctive facial features and elaborate attire. The sculpture is crafted from a dark material, likely bronze or a similar metal. The figure is enclosed within a gothic-style arched frame. The frame extends into two curved handles below the bust. The sculpture is intricately detailed, with attention given to the man's hair, clothing, and the relief work on the frame.
