A warm brown, bronze medal depicts a textured lamb reclining in a field of small flowers, its head turned toward us. Two rounded hills rise in the background beneath the arched inscription "PEACE ON EARTH," rendered in stylized, angular letters. Rhythmic lines define the woolly coat and surrounding grass, while light glints off the raised bronze surface, highlighting the fine details and the medal's soft patina.
