The sculpture depicts a scene with a panther confronting a deer. The panther appears dominant, standing over the prey with its powerful body and muscular form clearly illustrated. The color of the sculpture varies from dark brown to greenish hues, possibly due to the patina that has developed on the bronze material. The scene is captured with realism in the surface details, such as the fur texture and the tension in the panther's stance. The size of the sculpture suggests it is a table-top piece, allowing viewers to closely observe the intricate craftsmanship of this depiction of a predator and its prey.
