A vertical, rectangular bronze medal features a dark, warm brown patina with mottled, pitted textures. In low relief at the bottom right, a long, feathered palm frond extends diagonally toward the top right corner. Behind its base, a horizontal branch with lobed leaves spreads toward the center. A thin, raised rim borders the composition, framing the detailed foliage against the open, weathered surface on the left.
