Two views of a bronze medallion feature figures in raised relief. On the left, an armored rider gallops right with a raised arm toward two stylized vertical pillars and a banner. On the right, a bird emerges from flames above a pyre of stacked cylinders on the left, beside a vertical sword positioned beneath a crown. The medallion's dark-brown surface has a rough, cast texture, emphasizing symbolic silhouettes against circular backgrounds.
