The sculpture depicts a standing figure holding a staff in a slightly raised relief on a round medallion or disk. The figure is dressed in flowing robes and is positioned centrally on the disk. The sculpture is primarily brown with visible signs of aging, likely made of metal given its corroded surface with green patina. The figure appears to be carved in a style influenced by classical art. The word "CONSTANTIA" is inscribed below the figure. A small hole is visible at the top of the disk.
