The central figure is a man with short curly hair wearing a cloth wrapped around his body, no shirt, and a decorative belt. He is barefoot. He holds a laurel wreath in his right hand above his head. To his right is a woman in a long dress. To his left are several men in helmets and armor holding spears and a shield. One of the armored men holds the reins of a horse ridden by another armored man. The horse's head is turned to the right. There are several other figures in the background. A man lies on the ground in the foreground. The image is rectangular. The mood is somber. The people are looking in different directions.
