A circular bronze medal depicts a low-relief figure stepping right, her head turned as she holds a lyre. Topless with a long, draped skirt, her right hand is raised toward a small hill and tree. To our right, a larger tree and rocks frame her. HARMONY is inscribed at the bottom. The bronze has a dark, mottled patina, its smooth surface speckled with oxidation across the figure's bare torso and shoulders.
