Two sides of a circular bronze medallion feature high-relief scenes with a warm brown patina. On the left, a winged male figure soars over a vintage biplane above turbulent waves; an inscription marks the lower edge. On the right, two gulls fly above a two-funneled steamship navigating a choppy sea. A blank, recessed rectangular plaque is positioned in the upper right. Both sides display textured details capturing modern travel.
