Plaster figures of two beggars, one a disabled seaman. The sailor carries a board round his neck showing a sinking ship. Both the men depicted are elderly. The seaman has one eye, a wooden leg and has a left hand missing. He has a crutch under one arm and wears a tricorn hat. His companion wears a round hat and an apron and has his hands in his pockets. They are mounted on a wooden base under a glass dome.
