Both the horse and the rider are rendered in bas-relief against the flat background of the sculpture. The material of the sculpture has an aged bronze look with a dark, patinated surface and touches of verdigris. The name "OCTAVIVS RIC" is inscribed below the equestrian figure. The overall appearance is flat, circular, metallic, ancient, and worn.
