The image shows a round bronze medallion with a relief sculpture. The sculpture features a female figure standing on a platform, extending her hand towards two male figures in front of her. The female figure holds a laurel wreath and a shield. The two male figures stand in front of her, one muscular and draped in a cloth, the other smaller in stature. The medallion is inscribed with "AMERICAN ART-UNION" and "1848." The material is reddish-brown bronze with a metallic sheen and signs of aging. The scene is intricately detailed with the figures and their clothing carved in high relief.

The sculpture is a profile relief of a man with wavy hair, portrayed on a circular medallion. The man faces right with detailed facial features and prominent neck and hair contours. The bronze-colored medallion likely made of metal, possibly bronze, bears the name "WASHINGTON ALLSTON" around the upper half, with inscriptions crediting "F. Dougan Del. C. C. Wright Sc." The medallion is smooth and polished, contrasting with the intricate details of the profile.
