A circular bronze medal depicts a muscular man in relief, striding right while wearing a headwrap and loincloth. He scatters small dots representing seeds from a trailing hand while clutching a heavy sack. Sharp, stylized rays radiate from behind his torso. Above him, raised lettering arcs along the rim: "WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH." At his feet, the name "LAWRIE" is embossed against a base of rounded, cloud-like forms.
