The sculpture depicts a horse in motion, with one front leg raised and its neck slightly arched. The figure is crafted from a material resembling bronze, with a rich brown hue that highlights the muscles and contours of the horse’s body. This small-scale sculpture is mounted on a rectangular base for stability. Its detail and textured surface convey a realistic portrayal, capturing the essence of the horse's form and movement in a compact representation.
