The sculpture depicts a detailed scene within a rectangular frame resembling a theatrical stage. Human figures in classical attire stand between architectural pillars under an ornate archway adorned with patterns and color accents. One figure wears a vibrant red robe. The background features a structure resembling classical architecture with a decorated frieze and towers. An animal, possibly a horse or deer, is positioned next to one of the figures. The sculpture uses earthy tones with vibrant patches, suggesting painted ceramics or another composite material. The scene is enclosed in a wooden, glass-fronted box for display.
