The image shows two full-body depictions of figures facing each other. Both are standing on their toes in a poised manner. The figures have facial features with prominent noses, pointed beards, fantastical ears, and curved horns. They have lean, muscular bodies with visible musculature. The figure on the left has one arm bent at the elbow with fingers pointing downward, while the other arm is raised to the shoulder. The figure on the right holds a long staff or stick against their back, with one hand behind their back and the other arm at their side. The background is plain with horizontal lines suggesting a surface, all enclosed within a rectangular border.
