There are two wooden figures of soldiers on horseback, each mounted on a wheeled platform. The dominant colors are warm browns for the horses and platforms, with the soldiers wearing teal blue and brown uniforms and helmets. The first soldier is positioned near the top left of the image, while the second soldier is located towards the bottom right. Both figures face to the right, with the top horse standing on a slightly higher plane than the lower one.
