The sculpture features a male figure seated on a throne. The figure has a muscular physique and a full beard. The figure is draped in fabric, and a bird, possibly an eagle, is beside him. The sculpture has a monochrome finish resembling classic antique stone or bronze. Flame-like shapes emerge from the figure's hand. The drawing is set against a plain background.
