The sculpture shows the head of an animal with a broad snout, large nostrils, and prominent eyes with carved pupils. The ears are slightly rounded and protrude from the sides. The sculpture is made of wood, evident from the visible grain and natural brown tones. The texture is rough, emphasizing natural lines and providing a lifelike appearance. The sculpture is displayed against a plain background.
