A circular bronze medal, aged with a warm brown patina, depicts three horizontal registers of movement. At the top, three long-necked birds fly with wings raised and necks stretched. In the center, four muscular nude men run with bent elbows; a fifth runner's leg leads at the right edge. At the base, a slender dog sprints below a ground line. Shallow relief and textured surfaces highlight the anatomical precision of the lunging figures.
