The sculpture is a square relief with a group of figures and animals arranged horizontally across the surface. The image includes small humanoid figures and animals such as horses or cattle. Text inscribed in likely German is above and below the figures. The sculpture has a textured surface and is in shades of gray, suggesting it could be made of bronze or stone. The relief design is shallow, and the text is prominently featured. The photograph shows the sculpture in frontal view with soft lighting and minimal shadows.
