The sculpture is a relief depicting a standing male figure with a beard, who is seemingly nude except for a cloth or garment around his waist. He is holding a large club in one hand. Another figure is lying on the ground beside him. The sculpture is crafted as a raised relief on an oval base with a metallic appearance. The surface has a worn and aged texture, suggesting it is made of bronze. The color is dark, tarnished bronze with lighter highlights where the metal catches the light, providing contrast. The piece gives the impression of an ancient or classical style due to the material's patina.
