The full-body armor sculpture, titled "Armor", by an unknown artist, depicts a standing man wearing armor. The armor is made of silver-colored metal and covers the entire body, including the head, with a faceplate that has horizontal slits for the eyes. The armor consists of multiple pieces, including a breastplate, shoulder guards, arm guards, gauntlets, a belt, a codpiece, tassets, cuisses, greaves, and sabatons. The armor is made up of interlocking plates with a ribbed design, and some areas feature a mesh-like material. The figure stands on a round wooden base, with a gray gradient background transitioning from dark to light. The right arm is bent at the elbow, while the left arm hangs straight down. The head is turned to the right.
