The image depicts an oval frame containing a classical scene. Within the frame, a nude male figure stands in profile, holding a spear or staff in his right hand. He is positioned next to a large, round shield, which is leaning against his side. At his feet is a small, winged cupid looking up at him. The background within the oval is a solid black. The oval frame itself has multiple layers of color: a dark outer line, a light blue inner line, and a thin gold line in between. The image is on a cream-colored background, and there is a small number '9' in the upper right corner. The style is reminiscent of classical cameos or engravings.
