The sculpture depicts a hunt scene with a densely packed composition of figures, horses, and hounds. Nude figures engage in the hunt, some wielding bows, while others are on horseback, all directed towards various game animals such as a lion and wild boars. The scene shows action and movement, with detailed carvings in a predominantly brown color, suggesting it is crafted from bronze. The oval-shaped relief sculpture captures a narrative within its confined boundary, showcasing the interconnected motions of the hunt.
