The sculpture depicts a scene where a large feline is struggling with a deer or antelope. The big cat is on top, with its muscles tensed and mouth open, while the hooved animal is resisting. The bronze sculpture has a metallic sheen, giving it a sense of weight. The texture of the animals' fur and muscle structure is intricately detailed. The sculpture rests on a dark base. The artwork shows attention to anatomical details, making it vivid in its depiction of wildlife interaction.
