The sculpture features a round relief with several figures depicted in a scene. There is a central figure wearing a helmet or headdress adorned with antlers, accompanied by a dog at their feet. This figure is holding a spear and is in a dynamic pose, indicating movement. Opposite this figure are three nude figures, one climbing out of a structure resembling a rectangular box or chest, while the other two are standing nearby, facing the first figure. The background includes plants and a tree, indicating an outdoor setting. The entire sculpture is made of a material with a bronze tone, giving it a weathered and antique appearance, with highlights and contrasts created by the lighting that accentuate the relief work. The sculpture appears to be a small medallion or plaque, viewed face-on, with intricate detailing suggesting a narrative or mythological scene.
