The sculpture depicts an abstract form resembling a horse's head. It is made from wood and features a warm brown color with visible grain patterns. The sculpture is presented upright on a base, with an element suggesting the horse's nose pointing downward. The wood grain gives it a natural aesthetic, enhanced by lines and knots in the wood, adding to the textural complexity of the piece. The overall appearance captures the essence of the animal's form in a stylized manner.
