The sculpture shows a figure of an angel-like creature with wings, blowing a trumpet. The creature's body is in motion with extended arms and legs as if flying. It is made of a brownish metal material with a weathered appearance. The sculpture is mounted on a vertical support against a plain background, giving it a flat silhouette effect.
