The sculpture is a round relief featuring multiple nude male figures engaged in a strenuous activity. One seated man is surrounded by others, with one raising a tool, possibly a hammer. Trees in the background create depth in an outdoor setting. The sculpture is made from a bronze-like material, with varying shades of dark brown and highlights when light hits it. The circular form directs the viewer's focus towards the central activity, creating a dynamic environment.
