The sculpture depicts a bearded man in a long coat and boots, holding a whip and leading a pig with a rope. The man is stepping forward as if driving the pig. The pig is placed atop a large cleaver with a wooden handle, showcasing features such as a curly tail and pointed ears. The sculpture has a painted finish with muted colors: the pig and cleaver in shades of gray, and the man's attire in darker hues accented by lighter tones for his pants. The piece is constructed with a flat, two-dimensional relief style against a plain background.
