The sculpture depicts a man mounted on a horse. The man has a beard and is dressed in dark attire, with a black jacket and pants and red boots. He holds an object resembling an umbrella or sword upright in his right hand. The sculpture is colored primarily in earth tones, with the horse being a light brown and the man's clothing in shades of black and red. It appears to be made from wood, evident from the carved features and visible grain patterns. The horse and rider are positioned on a rectangular base that supports them.
