The sculpture depicts multiple figures engaged in a gathering. The background suggests they are inside a structure. The figures and surroundings have a metallic appearance due to being made of gold. The gold material highlights the details of the figures' clothing and surroundings. The sculpture is in relief, attached to a decorative base with scroll-like motifs and a central plaque featuring human figures on both sides. The sculpture stands vertically and showcases intricate craftsmanship.
