The upper register depicts a row of standing figures in draped garments, some with identifying gestures and a few smaller figures at their feet, all in various poses along a continuous frieze beneath a projecting cornice. The lower register is divided by vertical architectural elements into three arched bays containing additional carved figures and scenes, including a standing figure in armor beside a robed figure, seated and kneeling figures, and symbolic roundels and cross-like forms integrated into the composition. The stone shows weathering and carved details with emphasis on drapery folds, facial features, and raised borders framing the panels. The overall image is high contrast with a pale background and darker carved stone tones.
