Each figure stands atop a separate circular base accented with small, hand-modeled porcelain flowers.

The figures are styled with classically inspired updo hairstyles.. They wear heavily draped, flowing Greek-style gowns finished in a brilliant, reflective metallic gold-gilt glaze. The drapery mimics fluid motion, with sharp ruffles and deep folds that wrap dynamically around their bodies as they pose.

Their exposed skin—including their arms, shoulders, faces, and bare feet—remains pristine white porcelain, creating a stark contrast against the highly polished gold garments.

Both maidens are sculpted in expressive, theatrical postures:
• The first figure stands with her head tilted back and her left arm raised high above her hair, while her right arm elegantly curves across her torso.
• The second figure mirrors this energy, lifting her right arm upwards over her forehead while gesturing outward with her left hand.

The two porcelain statues are mounted side-by-side onto a oval base made of brass with a detailed scrolled perforated brass pattern.
