A circular bronze medal depicts a woman in profile facing our left, her wavy hair flowing toward our right. She holds a small figure atop a sphere in her hands. Behind her, a horse head faces our left below a six-pointed star. The low-relief sculpture features smooth, rounded forms and a warm, brownish-gold surface. The initials A, a copyright symbol, and B appear on our right.
