Summary:
Carved figures of a nude man and woman. The man (now missing his head) kneels on his proper right leg before a reclining female figure. He holds a block of stone up near his proper right shoulder. The partially draped female figure is in a twisted position, with proper left knee bent. The sculpture is supported on a wooden framework made of timbers bolted together set atop a concrete base.
