The head of the man and the breasts, shoulders and head of the woman are missing. The two figures are standing on a pedestal that is nearly square and are joined together by a back plate, which reaches their shoulders.
The man is wearing a short pleated kilt. His right hand is held next to his body, with the left he is holding his wife's hand. She is dressed in a long, close-fitting garment. Her hands are held the same way as the man's,
albeit in mirror image. There are ten columns of text on top of the pedestal and on the back plate .
