The sculpture features a triangular relief carving with a central scene depicting a Native American figure on horseback holding an implement, possibly a weapon, while engaging with a buffalo. The figure and the horse are carved with a stylized depiction, showcasing details such as the rider's feathered headdress and the buffalo's large hump. The sculpture appears to be made of wood, with figures and background in earthy tones including shades of brown and muted green. The piece is bordered with a frame that has star-like motifs at the bottom corners. The scene is relatively flat compared to real-life dimensions, condensing a dynamic interaction into the limited space of the triangular panel.
