The sculpture is a representation of a rooster in a proud and upright stance. It is made of metal, likely bronze or iron, with a dark, aged-brown patina. The rooster is detailed, with textured feathers, a prominent comb, and elongated tail feathers. The legs support the rooster as it stands on a horizontal rod, indicating it may be part of a weather vane. The sculpture appears two-dimensional, emphasizing its bold silhouette against the background.
