The sculpture depicts a scene of a man on horseback confronting a lion. The man is wielding a curved sword, poised to strike the lion, which is rearing up against the horse. A dog is also present in the scene. The entire piece is crafted from a dark-colored material, possibly bronze. It sits on a rectangular base with a golden hue. The intricate details include the man's clothing, the texture of the horse's mane, and the muscular form of the lion. The figures convey motion and drama through their varied postures and expressions.
