On the proper right is a woman hooded in robes, a garland wreath in her proper right hand, her proper left hand on her chest. On the rear is a blacksmith with short hair, wearing an open-collared shirt that is rolled to his elbows, and a calf-length apron, holding tongs. On the proper left is a woman in classical robes with upswept hair and a cloak tied in the front, her proper right hand upraised. A circular bundle of bound rods separates each of the figures. The sculpture is mounted upon a circular, multitiered base with an inscription on the front.
