A bronze sculpture consists of two sides of an oval medallion. On the left, a figure in a cap stands behind a seated man, resting hands on his shoulders in low relief. On the right, a rectangular plaque sits near the bottom, while a leafy branch and ribbon-wrapped torch project from behind. The dull golden patina highlights the figures' expressive forms and the plaque's sharp, raised edges against the smooth bronze surface.
