The sculpture shows an elephant being attacked by a predator, possibly a big cat. The animals are entangled in a dynamic pose, with the elephant's head slightly lowered and its mouth open. The sculpture is made of a dark, glossy material, likely bronze, with detailed textural elements. The figures are placed on a textured base, creating a naturalistic setting. The work allows for close inspection of the detailed craftsmanship and dynamics.
