The sculpture depicted is on a coin-like medallion showing two human figures. The figure on the left appears to be a male, partially clothed with a visible bare chest, reaching out towards the other figure. The figure on the right seems to be a female, draped in a flowing garment, with her arms raised overhead. The entire sculpture on the medallion is monochromatic, made of a dark metal material. The characters are in relief with intricate details of their garments and features finely crafted. Surrounding the figures is a border with inscriptions. The medallion has a patina and texture giving it an antiquated appearance.
