A bronze sculpture depicts a horse-like animal facing right, with two circular loops forming its legs. A low, ridged mane follows the thick neck toward a head with small ears and a rounded muzzle. The stocky torso ends in a short tail. A dark green and brown patina covers the pitted surface, giving the impression of an ancient artifact. Its simplified, heavy form creates a grounded, archaic silhouette.
