Both sculptures are made of Italian rosa sardo granite and are more than two meters high. The chunks of granite are polished smooth on the sides that face each other, on the outside two figures have been cut in relief. The top stone shows a woman full-length from her front, she is barefoot and holds up her skirt with both hands. The smaller stone shows a stepping man seen from the side, he carries a large bag on his back. On the line on the ground, which runs between the two stones, is the inscription: THAT DRAW THROUGH THE WATER, THOSE THROUGH THE STONE
