The sculpture is a door knocker featuring a lion's face. The lion's mane is intricate, flowing around the face symmetrically. Its eyes are closed, and it has a restful expression. The sculpture is made of dark metal, possibly bronze, with a weathered patina. The lion's mouth holds a round metal knocker ring of the same material. The design is mounted on a flat surface with visible attachment holes for a door.
