The sculpture depicts the head of a horse with a stylish mane and decorative bridle that includes rosettes and patterns. The horse's expression is neutral, with detailed muscle structure around the mouth and eyes. The sculpture appears to be made of patinated bronze or a similar dark metal, mounted on a narrow base with a ring. The craftsmanship and realistic features give the sculpture an elegant and lifelike appearance.
