The sculpture depicts a galloping horse in motion, captured mid-stride with its legs stretched out. The color of the sculpture appears to be a uniform gray. The horse is positioned horizontally on a base, and is supported by a vertical bar in the middle. The details such as the horse's mane and tail are carved with intricate lines. The sculpture is oriented laterally, allowing the observer to see the entire length of the horse in profile.
