The sculpture depicts a figure dressed in armor, engaged in a heroic stance with one knee bent over a dragon-like creature. The figure holds a sword aloft in one hand while standing triumphantly over the dragon with the other hand placed on its hip. The armor worn by the figure features detailed elements such as a breastplate and segmented armor on the arms and legs. The sculpture is crafted from bronze, giving it a metallic sheen and warm brown color. The detailing on the dragon and the warrior’s attire highlight the craftsmanship of the piece. The overall form and posture of the sculpture present a dynamic impression and its size appears small.
