The image shows a round relief sculpture featuring a group of figures. The figures include several standing people, some of whom are gesturing or touching others, and one figure kneeling on a small set of steps. The sculpture is made of a gray material that appears to be stone or metal, accented by shallow carvings to depict the figures with some detail. The round piece is relatively flat with a small hole at the top. The figures are depicted in a bas-relief manner.
