The sculpture depicts a regal lion standing on its hind legs with its front paws against a tree. A smaller human figure is on top of the tree, interacting with the lion. The lion's mouth is open, looking up at the human figure. The sculpture is made from a material painted in earthy tones, including brown, tan, and golden hues. The tree is textured and painted in shades of brown with knots and bark details. The base and surrounding area are colored in dark greens and blues, suggesting a rocky terrain. The sculpture stands on a flat base, with the lion's tail and rear legs forming a grounding structure. The finish of the sculpture has a metallic sheen.
