The sculpture, titled 'Hatchet', by Brancusi, features two main parts. One part has a dark green patina with a rough texture and a tapered end. The other part is made of brown metal, also with a tapered end. The brown metal piece overlaps the green piece, with its tapered end pointing towards the top right. The sculpture rests on a white background.
