The sculpture is a circular relief depicting a scene with a horse pulling a chariot. The chariot has two figures, one at the front and one at the back. The horse is in motion, with its front legs raised. The material appears to be bronze, with areas showing patina or wear. There is an inscription "AGRIPP.PACI" beneath the chariot scene. The relief is smaller in scale and designed to be viewed up close to appreciate details.
