A male and a female figure stand on a low rectangular base which is adorned with metal inlay in a scroll design which rests on a larger rectangular base. The female figure raises both of her arms, resting her proper right hand on her right shoulder and her proper left hand on her left shoulder. The male figure stands very close to the female figure on her proper left side; his proper left arm appears to be behind her. Both figures are bare chested and are dressed in loose Roman-style drapery rolled at the waist, and Roman sandals. The female figure wears a cape over the back of her head. The female figure looks down and the male figure stares out into the distance. The figures are placed against a narrow granite wall which rests on top of the larger rectangular base.
