A circular bronze medal in relief depicts a nude muscular man with wavy hair kneeling and facing our right, bound by chains to a rocky base. He is beset by an eagle perching on his thigh. Centered text at the top reads "PRO," while "HVMANI" and "TATE" flank him vertically. Crossed torches sit in the lower right. Deep shadows define his physique. The artist's signature is inscribed at the bottom.
