The standing figures appear to be male, two wearing helmets with crests and holding shields. The central standing figure is dressed in robes and holds an object. The scene is crafted from a brown material, likely bronze, featuring detailed textures. The relief is rectangular with a mounting hole at the top. The design captures intricate details such as garment folds and shield textures, emphasizing a historic Roman theme.
