The sculpture is an ornately detailed medallion or relief plaque, featuring multiple intricately carved human figures in various poses. The central figure is a winged child or cherub poised above a group of muscular men standing shoulder to shoulder. Surrounding them are additional individuals, some with head coverings or stylized hair. At the top of the plaque is a stern-faced, bearded figure with flowing hair amidst ornate scrollwork and floral designs. The sculpture is made from a golden-hued material, likely a metallic composition like bronze or gilded metal, giving it a lustrous appearance against a dark background.
