The sculpture depicts a silhouette of an archer holding a bow in position as if aiming at a target. The archer is adorned with a feathered crown and has a quiver on their back, suggesting readiness with arrows for shooting. The color of the sculpture is dark, earthy brown with a slightly rusty tone. The outline is flat, giving the sculpture a two-dimensional appearance. The minimalist design focuses primarily on the shape and posture of the archer.
