The sculpture features a detailed relief scene with a central figure seated under an ornate archway. Smaller figures are carved into the background and along the columns. Above the main scene is another depiction of figures. The sculpture appears to be made of bronze or a similar dark metal with a rich, dark brown color. The artistry shows a high level of detail in the drapery of the figures and the decorative elements of the architecture, creating a complex visual narrative in a compact, bas-relief format. The sculpture has a hole at the top for possible hanging or mounting.
