Description
The image shows a medallion featuring a side profile of a man with curly hair and a short beard, wearing a buttoned-up garment with a high collar. The medallion is circular with text inscribed along the edge saying "IAC . ANT . SORRA." The material of the sculpture seems to be a reddish-brown metal, likely copper, giving it a distinct color and texture. The man's profile is presented in relief against the flat background of the medallion, providing clear visibility of his facial features and clothing details.
