The sculpture depicts a mounted figure astride a horse. The rider is clad in armor, with detailed garments and the horse's ornate tack suggesting a historic or classical theme. The monochromatic sculpture appears in a dark metallic shade, likely bronze. The horse is captured mid-stride with its front right leg lifted off the ground and its tail sweeping behind it, while the rider holds the reins firmly. The sculpture rests on a rectangular base.
