About this work

This is a raised-relief sculpture of two figures carved into a flat surface. The person on the left holds a round shield with a carved bird on it and a spear over their shoulder. Their hair is wavy, and they wear a draped tunic. The figure on the right stands naked, facing left, with one arm resting on their hip. The bird on the shield looks like an owl, which was often linked to wisdom in ancient times. The sculpture’s style is simple but detailed, with clear lines and textures.
