The sculpture is a rectangular relief panel with two stylized trees or plants on either side growing from small pots. In the center, there is text that reads "L. AN. PROT." Below the plants is more text, "PAS. LEBEN. SWKA. INL. FEE.", and a series of numbers or symbols, "167451" within an ornamental design. The sculpture is made of gray stone or concrete, with a textured finish highlighting the raised motifs and inscriptions. The appearance is flat with shallow relief carvings, suitable for wall affixing or as part of architectural decoration. The material and aged texture suggest it may be an older piece or designed in a classic style.
