The sculpture depicts multiple figures in dynamic poses, with some on horseback and others standing beside them. The figures appear to wear armor and garments, holding staffs with mounted figures and banners at the top. The relief sculpture is rendered in bronze, giving it a brownish-golden appearance. The figures are crafted in a bas-relief style, allowing them to stand out from the background.
