A circular bronze medal features a central ear of corn in high relief. Two large, wing-like husks sweep upward and outward, framing the cob. Along the upper perimeter, the word "ABUNDANCE" is inscribed in a wide arc. Thinner, pointed leaves curve away from the center at the bottom. The object has a warm brown patina, with light highlighting smooth surfaces and the intricate, grid-like detail of the corn kernels.
