The sculpture shows three male figures standing close together, each with a prominent beard and distinctive facial features. They are connected by a chain that loops across their chests. Each figure wears a long garment painted in a reddish-brown hue with faint black vertical lines. The base of the sculpture is a darker color. The material of the sculpture appears to be carved wood, giving it a rustic and textured appearance. The figures are depicted from the waist up, standing together with serious expressions.
