A circular bronze medal depicts a large vulture in raised relief with a hooked beak and bare head. Perched on a rocky base with thin, leafless branches, the bird faces right with its head turned back. The textured, warm brown surface is inscribed with "DESTRUCTION" in raised capital letters curving along the upper edge. Detailed feathers and sharp talons define the bird's form, emphasizing its predatory presence against the metallic background.
