The image shows a vertical, elongated golden-brown plaque featuring intricate carvings. A central motif is divided into two main compartments with circular borders intertwined in a figure-eight or infinity symbol-like fashion. Within each circular border, a figure adorned in what appears to be historical clothing, perhaps medieval, holds a staff or scepter. Between and around the two main circular motifs are inscriptions, which seem to be in Latin. At the top and bottom of the panels are smaller rectangular sections with similar inscriptive texts. The plaque's surface texture and style suggest an artifact that might be medieval or designed to appear as such, potentially serving as a commemorative or decorative object. The circular motifs and the prominence of text suggest that the figures could represent individuals of importance, possibly saints or historical figures.

The image shows an old, ornate bronze or brass plaque with engraved Latin text and images. At the top is a portrait bust of a man in ceremonial robes or armor, facing to the right and encircled by a decorative border. Below that are several lines of Latin text mentioning "A THEODORO EUDOXI HIEROSOLYMIS". This translates to something about "From Theodore Eudoxius of Jerusalem". The text is flanked by decorative spiral borders.
