The sculpture is a rectangular relief with three human figures engaged in action. Two figures hold long objects, while the central figure is in movement. The scene is framed with decorative plant motifs on the top and sides. The sculpture is a muted gray color, likely made of stone. The surface texture is rough with visible carvings providing detail. An inscription with classical-style letters is below the figures. The relief appears weathered, suggesting age.
