The sculpture features a cow centrally positioned within an arched rectangular panel. The cow is surrounded by stylized grass or foliage on its sides, and a tree with curving branches appears to overlap it on the right. The sculpture is primarily brown in color, providing a textured appearance to the foliage and the fur of the cow. Below the sculpture, an incomplete pencil sketch suggests a design for a base or stand. The name "Charlotte Angus" is inscribed alongside the panel.
