This image depicts a high-relief oval portrait medallion of a young male, identified as Prince Albert (1819-1861), crafted from white Parian ware, a type of biscuit porcelain. The figure is shown in strict left profile, featuring a classical aesthetic with finely detailed, voluminous curly hair. The facial features include a straight nose, full lips, a defined chin, and a prominent brow, with the eye deeply set. The neck and upper shoulder are visible, maintaining the profile. The medallion is framed against a dark, featureless background, suggesting a display case or mounting. Multiple small, circular light reflections on the surface indicate the presence of protective glass. A faint, horizontal dark line traverses the figure's ear and cheek, consistent with a reflection or minor scratch on glass. Subtle initials, appearing to be "AM" or "AV", are visible in low relief below the chin. A small, reddish-brown smudge or discoloration is present on the medallion's surface to the right of the figure's neck. The object is located within the collection of the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, situated in Chamberlain Square, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
