Description
The sculpture is a profile relief of a man with wavy hair, portrayed on a circular medallion. The man faces right with detailed facial features and prominent neck and hair contours. The bronze-colored medallion likely made of metal, possibly bronze, bears the name "WASHINGTON ALLSTON" around the upper half, with inscriptions crediting "F. Dougan Del. C. C. Wright Sc." The medallion is smooth and polished, contrasting with the intricate details of the profile.
