The centre figure represents Leeds and the four female figures below and on either side of her (looking from left to right) are Manufacture, with a loose roll of textile, a mallet, an anvil, a cog and pincers; Music and Poetry, with a lyre under one arm, and a trumpet or horn in the other; the Fine Arts with a palette in one hand; and Science, with a compass, a globe, what looks like a press of some kind, and a cone behind her. Two owls, emblematic of the city, sit on the twin pedestals near the middle, beside which are also a kneeling figure that looks like Pan, on the left, and a bust of Athena, on the right.

The side panels, show a little boy with a ram draped over his shoulders, signifying the importance of the wool trade to Leeds. The foliage is woven around other emblems of order, prosperity, etc.
