The sculpture depicts the head and upper portion of a horse. It includes features such as the ears, eyes, and part of its mane. It appears to be made of a dark metal or similar material, giving it a metallic sheen. The color is primarily a muted dark tone with highlights and shadows. The base of the sculpture features ornate, leaf-like decorations that transition into a circular platform. The horse's head is oriented slightly to the right. The level of detail in its anatomy suggests a lifelike representation.
