The sculpture depicts a standing figure wearing a crown with pointed tips, dressed in a blue tunic with a red sash tied around the waist and accessorized with a necklace. One of the figure's arms is raised with a clenched fist, while the other holds a sword. The sculpture is made of a material that combines pale tones for the skin and a deeper blue for the garment, with touches of red on the sash and brown on the shoes. The sculpture stands on a rectangular plinth.
