The sculpture, known as the Persian Dancers, features a male and female dancer in mid-dance. Both are wearing elaborate costumes with harem pants that flows with their movements. The male shadows the female from behind, clasping an arm about her neck as they both, in synchronized form, lean to their right with left arms extended, as though pulling the weight of emotion. The handmade bronze sculpture was cast using the ancient method of lost-wax casting and stained with a brown patina finish for preservation. It is mounted upon a black marble base,Chiparus.
