A dark bronze medal shown in two circular reliefs. On the left, a bald man's profile is cast in relief, his flowing beard textured with undulating lines. Raised lettering identifies NICHOLAS ROERICH and XL. On the right, stylized figures assemble a towering structure above a circular emblem framing the letters M and R. Text around the border reads HONOUR TO THE CREATOR AND BUILDER NEW-YORK MCMXXIX and ROERICH MUSEUM.
