The sculpture depicts a ship at sea, caught in a powerful wave. It is made of a metallic material, likely bronze, with brownish and copper tones, giving it a patinated appearance. The round, medallion-like form suggests it is a relief piece. The inscription "S.V.A.V.I.S OLIVT" is visible along the upper rim. The craftsmanship reflects a dynamic portrayal of the ocean and vessel, captured in the moment of nature's force.
