The image shows a small metallic object in the shape of a horse and a house-like structure on a rectangular base. The object is predominantly earth-toned with hints of green and gold. The house-like structure is centrally positioned on a gabled roof and is slightly elevated above the base, with the horse figure attached on the right side. The base is horizontal, creating a cohesive composition. The artist's signature, "W.A. Roach," can be seen in the bottom right corner of the canvas.
