The sculpture is a bas-relief medallion featuring a profile view of a man identified as "ARMANVS IOAN CARD DE RICHELIEV." The man is depicted wearing a cap and an elaborate, high-collared garment with visible details in the fabric and folds, along with ornamental chains and a pendant. The material of the medallion appears to be a warm, bronze metal. The sculpting accurately captures facial features such as the man's wavy hair, beard, and prominent nose. The round medallion includes the artist's name, "J. WARIN," engraved along the bottom edge. It is designed to have a small hole at the top.
