The sculpture is a circular relief depicting a scene involving two subjects: a ship with visible ropes and masts positioned on the left, and a human figure sitting on the right. The person appears to be holding on to a large fish, resting one arm across its back, as they sit on what looks like a rock amidst swirling, wave-like patterns. The image is surrounded by a raised border framing the circular scene. The sculpture itself is crafted in a monochromatic material, giving it a uniform, metallic brown color that highlights the sculptural details and textures against the flat background. The overall appearance is one of high-relief detail, where the subjects stand out prominently against the background plane.
