A circular bronze medal depicts three overlapping figures in low relief. On our left, a figure wearing a peaked cap clasps hands with another on our right in a large, folded headdress. Tucked between them is a smaller figure. The warm-toned metal emphasizes soft, rounded forms and draped clothing. Light catches the smooth surfaces, highlighting the shallow depth of the scene. Inscribed vertically along the right edge is "P. ROGER-BLOCHE."
