A gilt bronze sculpture depicts two back-to-back deity figures standing atop a four-legged vessel and stepped octagonal base. The figure facing us wears a crown and long garment, holding a tiered square platform overhead with raised arms. Tiny red, blue, and turquoise stones are inset into the figure's jewelry. A weathered metal rod projects from the center. Flakes of gilding have worn away to reveal dark brown bronze underneath.
