The sculpture depicts a muscular arm holding a cylindrical object that resembles a small hammer or mallet. The arm is flexed, emphasizing its muscular form and clearly detailing the anatomy with pronounced muscles and veins. The sculpture is rendered in a uniform brownish tone. Against a neutral background, the arm appears in relief, almost as if emerging from or receding into the surface. The twisted rope-like strand alongside the arm suggests a stylized representation of a rolled-up sleeve or an ornamental design element.
