The sculpture depicts two figures engaged in distinct activities. On the left, there is a figure playing a lyre. The figure is bent slightly towards the musical instrument. To the right, another figure holds a tool, seemingly chiseling or working on a structure at a small table. Both figures have detailed facial expressions and clothing, and they are set against a backdrop that includes a stylized plant design. The sculpture is a bas-relief with a rectangular shape and is crafted from a material that resembles bronze or a similar metal with a darkened patina and highlights. The texture and color of the sculpture suggest aged and weathered metal, giving it an antique appearance. The figures appear in a naturalistic style, though simplified and captured in mid-action.
