A circular bronze medal, mottled with a sea-green patina, features a central, tightly coiled vortex around which two nude figures swim. Above, a woman stretches leftward, while below, a man follows the circular motion along the lower rim. A raised border frames the scene, inscribed with "ΩΚΕΑΝΟΣ" and English text: "VORTEX OF BEING," "WELLSPRING OF LIFE," "HIGHWAY OF NATIONS," and "SOURCE OF MUSIC AND SONG."
