The sculpture is a relief depiction of a medieval knight riding a horse. The knight is shown in profile, wearing armor and holding a lance, with flowing hair and a cap. The horse is richly adorned, with intricate patterns decorating the saddle and protective coverings that display heraldic shields. The sculpture is made of gilt-bronze, with a metallic, golden-brown hue and areas of greenish patina due to aging. The composition is circular, with the knight taking up most of the central space, and it has an inscription around the upper curve of the piece. The overall appearance is detailed and ornate, with raised textures providing depth and intricacy.
