The sculpture is a rectangular relief featuring multiple figures and animals, including people and horses. The figures are dressed in flowing garments and have intricate details. The horses have well-defined bodies and flowing manes. The sculpture is crafted from brown-toned material, likely bronze or a similar metal. The relief style creates depth and allows each figure to stand out against the flat background. The scene appears to depict a historical or mythological narrative with rich details and engaging figures.
