The sculpture depicts two male figures in a scene. The standing figure is wearing a turban and is holding a book, while the seated figure has a full beard and is wearing a hat, with one hand on the book and the other hand gesturing. The clothing of both figures is detailed with folds resembling flowing robes. The sculpture is cast in a brownish-gold material with a textured, aged appearance. Behind the figures are etched structures resembling buildings or castles and a tree to the right, adding depth to the scene. Text is visible along the top edge of the sculpture. The overall size of the sculpture suggests it is a relief meant to be viewed up close, with fine details highlighting the figures' expressions and attire.
