The sculpture is a rectangular relief depicting four human figures. The central figure is a reclining man supported by a woman on his left, with two additional figures standing behind them. The figures are intricately carved with detailed features and flowing garments, suggesting movement. The sculpture is made of bronze, with subtle variations in color, including hints of green patina. Positioned within a framed border, the sculpture is rich in detail, with human figures appearing life-like and dynamic. The composition suggests a densely packed scene with a tactile surface.
