The sculpture depicts a scene with two primary human figures. A draped female figure is holding and leaning over the limp, lifeless body of a male figure. The figures are intricately detailed, with the male's muscular form and the female's flowing garments prominently highlighted. The background features a detailed landscape with buildings, towers, winding pathways, and hills. The color of the sculpture is a lustrous gold. The relief-style sculpture is flat but gives the appearance of depth through detailed etching and the layering of elements.
