The relief depicts a pastoral scene with two trees on either side of a central area. In the central area, a human figure stands beside an animal, which resembles a deer or horse. The artwork is a rectangular slab with a broken and missing lower edge. It is made of a material that appears to be stone and has a monochrome gray color. The surface of the sculpture is textured, with recessed lines and rough patches that give depth to the carved figures and elements. There are letters or a text strip near the bottom of the artwork, adding to its historical or ancient appearance.
