The sculpture is a rectangular box adorned with relief carvings. The carvings depict a group of people in a classical style interacting with each other. Some figures are dressed in long robes, while others wear minimal attire or armor. The box is made of bronze, with a brown metallic appearance and areas of dark patination. The figures are carved to provide depth, with some appearing in front of or behind others, against a backdrop of vertical columns. The reliefs are detailed, showing skillful craftsmanship.
