The sculpture is a life-sized representation of a kudu antelope with long, spiraled horns. The kudu stands with one front leg slightly raised. The sculpture appears to be carved from wood, with varying textures and earthy brown color tones resembling natural wood hues. The horns are smooth and elegant, adding to the intricate details of the piece. It is mounted on a rectangular wooden base. The sculpture captures the kudu in a naturalistic stance, giving the illusion of the animal in motion.
