The sculpture depicts two figures standing side by side with halos behind their heads. The figures are intricately carved, wearing robes with detailed patterns. The sculpture appears to be made of metal with dark brown and gold tones, possibly bronze, and shows signs of aging. Above the figures, there is an inscription in a script resembling Greek. The scene is framed within a rectangular border, with a small hole at the top center of the sculpture.
