The sculpture depicts a rooster crafted from a metallic material with a dark, silver-gray hue. The rooster is shown in profile standing on two legs, with a tail comprised of elongated, curving feathers. The rooster's wings and body feature grooves and ridges, adding depth. The sculpture portrays the rooster with a solid yet delicate design, standing with a slight forward lean, and detailed plumage and comb visible against a blank background.
