The sculpture is a rectangular relief with multiple human figures engaged in a dynamic interaction. Some figures are holding baskets or clusters, while others are in animated postures. The material of the sculpture appears to be bronze with brown tones and greenish patina. The figures are carved in low relief against the background, creating a three-dimensional appearance. The composition portrays a narrative scene frozen in time for viewers to interpret.
