The sculpture depicts a relief scene of two muscular male figures engaged in a dynamic struggle. They are intertwined, with one figure gripping the other in a posture suggesting a wrestling match. The material of the sculpture appears to be a dark metal, likely bronze, giving it a deep, aged patina with patches of verdigris visible in some areas. The figures showcase detailed anatomy and expressions, emphasizing their physical exertion. This rectangular plaque has a raised border and a hole at the top center. The composition includes two sculpted architectural elements resembling pedestals or columns in the background, framing the scene symmetrically.
