The relief depicts two human figures standing on either side of a tree with leaves and a hanging cluster. The figures are dressed in historical or traditional garments. The sculpture has a gray metallic surface. Decorative patterns are above the figures and tree, while there's an inscription below them. The relief is set within a rectangular frame, suggesting it could be part of a larger architectural piece or a standalone plaque. The figures and the tree are slightly raised against the background, giving it a three-dimensional appearance.
