Two sides of a circular bronze medal display stylized relief carvings. On the left, a large female profile wearing a smooth hood faces our left, with four smaller robed women standing behind. The words THE WISE VIRGINS appear at the bottom left. On the right, five elongated figures sit and stand on a tiered rectangular base, two small animals crawling underneath. A poem and the title THE FOOLISH VIRGINS are engraved at the bottom.
