The sculpture is a bronze relief depicting a scene with a nude male figure in the center, noticeably muscular, and holding what appears to be a pair of bull horns, one with each hand. The man is facing away from the viewer, and his stance is wide and dynamic. Flanking him on either side are two bulls, depicted in profile and showing a sense of motion with one foot raised from the ground on each. The background features architectural elements, including arched doorways and stone walls. The color of the sculpture is a dark bronze, with subtle green patina present in some areas. The inscription "O. MODERNI" is carved at the top. The sculpture is rectangular in shape with a small hole at the top center.
