The sculpture is a bas-relief image on a round medal depicting a vulture standing on two feet with its wings folded down and a gaze looking to the side. The bird is surrounded by the word "DESTRUCTION" embossed around the perimeter of the medal. The color of the sculpture is a uniform bronze hue, giving it a metallic appearance. It appears to be made of a metal alloy, likely bronze. The sculpture is intricately detailed, showing the texture of the bird's feathers and the contours of its body. The medal has a smooth, reflective quality, and appears polished, emphasizing the embossed elements and the vulture's form.
