The sculpture portrays a scene in a watery environment featuring a muscular male figure with a curled tail holding a staff or weapon. The figure faces another sea creature with an open mouth. Additional aquatic motifs like a crab-like creature and a stylized eel or serpent are present in the swirling wave background. The sculpture is made of bronze or a similar metal with a dark brown patina and patches of green oxidation. It is framed in a broad, slightly curved rectangular form with two small holes for mounting.
