The image shows a round, coin-like sculpture featuring a side profile of a human figure. The individual wears a hat, shoulder-length hair, and a garment with a visible collar. The sculpture appears to be made of metal, possibly bronze, based on its brown and gold tones. Intricate detailing is visible on both the figure's features and the surrounding text inscribed in a circular fashion around the edges, reading "BARTHOLOMEVS ZANGATIUS FLORENTI." The lettering is raised in relief against the background, showcasing precision and craftsmanship. The sculpture resembles a historical medallion or coin, providing a tangible, three-dimensional representation.

The image shows a bronze medallion with a detailed design. The central subject is a shield-like motif with an emblem, possibly a cross, inside a circular crest. Surrounding the central motif are Latin inscriptions referencing the year 1517 and other design elements. The bronze material gives the sculpture a brown color with a weathered patina. The medallion features a three-dimensional relief with intricate craftsmanship.
