Summary:

This symbolizes, "in free interpretations of classical Greek sources...a traditional arrangement of athletes flanked by coaches and a judge." Two male athletes are in the center, facing each other and appearing to be in the midst of a fight or game. On one side stand two other men, the coaches, while the judge is on the other side.
