A circular bronze medal depicts a nude winged child in relief, stepping toward our left with feathered wings outstretched. The figure has short, curled hair and holds a leafy wreath in their lowered right hand and another in their raised left. To the right, the word GLORIA is inscribed in capital letters. The warm, golden-brown bronze glows under light, with a thin line marking the ground beneath the figure's feet.
