Description
The sculpture is a circular medallion featuring the profile of a bearded man facing to the right. He has a detailed beard and hair texture, wearing what appears to be a tunic or armor with a visible collar and button. The medallion is crafted from a golden bronze material, giving it a rich, warm color and metallic sheen. The outer edge of the medallion is inscribed with the text "IVLIVS NOBILIVS PEO R," encircling the relief portrait.
