The relief panel depicts three figures. On the left, a bearded man in armor holds a sword. In the center, a skeletal figure holds a baton or stick raised high. On the right, a person in robes and a hat gestures with one hand. The figures are outlined, with decorative foliage framing them. The relief is in a dark, aged material, maybe bronze or iron, with a rough texture. Text is carved below the scene, and the composition is set in a rectangular frame on a bordered mat.
