The sculpture features a bearded male figure in a dynamic pose. He is facing to our right, leaning his shoulders back, with his left foot raised to rest on a tree stump so that his knee bends, and his arms are stretched out to grasp the bow, the left one reaching up to grip the top. He is nude except for a cloth pulled across his hips and over his left arm. A helmet is beside him.
