A wooden sculpture of a rooster is shown on a semi-circular wooden base. The rooster has detailed texture resembling feathers in dark brown and red, while the base is a lighter brown with a wood grain pattern. The color palette consists of earth tones with some muted red for the rooster's comb and wattle. The rooster is placed centrally above the base, and the background is off-white.
