His body faces left, but he looks forward. The eagle sits on the right side, its wings spread out and carved in detail to show feathers. The eagle's head is carved to look forward and downward. The block of stone is light-colored with visible texture and some darker spots. The background is dark grey, with the sculpture casting a shadow.
