The sculpture is a relief depicting two human figures and an ox in a pastoral scene. The figure on the left is holding a rope or tool that is connected to the ox, while the figure on the right seems to be guiding the scene with an outstretched arm. The central subject, the ox, is shown in a side profile, its large body made prominent in the composition. The sculpture is crafted from bronze, evident from its dark brownish color with patches of greenish patina that indicate aging and oxidation typical of bronze material. The relief panel has a textured background, suggesting a rural or outdoor setting, and a sense of movement with the positioning of the figures and the ox.
