The sculpture is a rectangular relief depicting four figures and an animal. The figures are cherubic children, one of whom is mounted on a small animal resembling a goat or a deer, while the others accompany on foot. One figure appears to be leading the animal, holding what looks like a rope or vine. The figure on the mounted animal has wings. Another figure beside them seems to be engaging with the animal, and the figure on the far right appears to be holding an object, possibly a musical instrument. The relief is detailed, capturing the youthful features and dynamic poses of the figures, set against a plain backdrop that enhances their three-dimensional effect. The sculpture is made of a metal, possibly bronze, giving it a rustic brown color with dark patina. The surface is smooth with visible signs of age.
