The sculpture portrays a cervid animal with large antlers, in a dynamic pose with its head turned to the side. It is in mid-stride with one front leg lifted as if navigating rocky terrain. The sculpture has a dark, aged bronze patina, and its textured surface suggests fur and a natural landscape. The detailed sculpture realistically captures the animal's musculature and facial features. It is presented on an oval base that merges with the rocky texture the elk stands on.
