A circular bronze medal, cast with a warm patina, depicts four muscular nude men running in profile. Positioned in a row, their rhythmic, overlapping limbs suggest continuous motion across a horizontal line. Above them, three long-necked birds fly in formation with extended wings. Below, a lean greyhound-like dog sprints along the base. The figures are rendered in low relief with smooth metallic surfaces that define their athletic anatomy and focused, forward-facing gazes.
