The sculpture in the image is a circular, bronze-colored relief depicting a classical scene with several human figures. The figures are soldiers or warriors, with helmets and armor, some riding horses, walking in a procession. They carry long staffs adorned with symbols, such as an eagle. The sculpture appears to be made of bronze or a similar metal, giving it an antique appearance. In the foreground, a central figure stands near a column or pedestal with a decorative element that might be a flame or incense burner. Behind them, two figures observe the scene through an arcade.
