A dark brown, circular bronze medal depicts a nude woman reclining atop an airplane flying left. Her torso rests along the fuselage with legs trailing back, her arms reaching forward as long hair streams behind. Above her, an eagle soars with wings outstretched. Below, a relief landscape features clouds, arched bridges, and buildings. The textured metal has lighter, polished highlights on the raised surfaces of the figure and plane.
