The sculpture depicts two figures standing beside a large urn. One figure holds a pole while the other holds a set of scales. The pedestal supporting the urn bears the inscription "SACRED TO WASHINGTON." The sculpture is rendered in a monochrome or color washed style, primarily in shades of gray and white. The scene is framed by fencing, with plant life and additional architectural elements surrounding the central figures. The setting appears formal and memorial-like. The composition suggests a 3D space viewed from an elevated angle, with a tiled floor and pillars on either side of the scene.
