The sculpture is crafted from white marble, which accentuates the texture and fluidity of the figures' expressions and clothing. Even after centuries of potential weather exposure, the sculpture maintains substantial detail, exhibiting careful and high-quality workmanship. Historically, these figures are thought to be the divine Greek twins, Castor and Pollux, who were considered protective figures of hospitality, athletes, seafarers, and cavalry in their period of creation. These divine figures were intensely revered for their protective prowess.
