A circular bronze medal depicts a muscular man in low relief, facing right. He stands centrally, pressing a curved bar onto an anvil. To the right, seven crosses of varying heights cluster on a mound. Stylized lettering surrounding the figure reads, "MAN SEEKS TO TURN FROM THE SAVAGERY OF WAR," with the year "1936" centered below. The warm brown patina emphasizes the man's strong form and the scene's somber, industrial tone.
