The sculpture depicts a seated older man with a flowing beard. He is surrounded by two younger figures. One of them is placing a wreath on his head, while the other holds a drapery filled with fruit beside him. A small child is reclining at the man's feet next to a large urn. The sculpture is made of light terracotta material. Its detailed craftsmanship and dynamic composition allow the observer to closely observe the expressions and posture of each figure. The sculpture sits on a rounded base.
