The sculpture depicts the silhouette of a horse with a raised front leg. The horse has a well-defined mane and tail, and its proportions are balanced. The sculpture is crafted from a metallic material, evident by its brown and coppery hues. The horse is mounted on a simple, straight base, making the creature look upright. The sculpture presents the horse's form in a two-dimensional, relief-style format against a plain background.
