The sculpture depicts a group of five figures in an intimate and closely-knit composition. At the center of the sculpture, there is a central figure with closed eyes. Surrounding this central figure are four other individuals who are positioned to support and envelop him, each carefully detailed with flowing garments and gentle expressions. The material of the sculpture appears to be a type of bronze or metal alloy, giving it a brown and slightly oxidized patina. Due to the relief nature of the sculpture, depth is created through the varied heights of the figures, providing an artistic representation that projects from the background as they engage with the central figure.
