The image shows a sculpture of a detailed relief on a circular medallion. The relief features a group of figures on a boat, including a man in armor standing at the left and a seated woman holding a flowering branch. An older man, possibly a ferryman, is shown standing and using a large oar to guide the boat. Below the boat, several smaller human figures are depicted. The sculpture is made of bronze, giving it a brown color and a metallic luster. The relief is carved with attention to detail, creating a sense of depth within the figures and depicting an elaborate scene reminiscent of a classical or mythological narrative.
