The sculpture features a relief depicting four human figures. The figures are engaged in an interaction, with two standing and draped in flowing garments, and one sitting with another figure leaning toward them. The figures are depicted in a classical style. The sculpture has a bronze-like appearance with a dark brown color, indicating it may be made from metal or treated to have a weathered effect. The dimensions are relatively flat as it is a relief and the detailed textures of the clothing and hair render the figures in a lifelike manner.
