The composition of the scene is based on balance and harmony. The figures of Achilles and Ajax are placed symmetrically, with the board game at the center of the composition.

This reflects the Greek ideals of proportion and balance, which were highly valued in art and architecture. There is no evidence of a spiritual medium or emotionally dramatic representation in this artwork.
