The bison is shown in a forward-leaning stance with head lowered, with textured detailing throughout the mane, face, and body.

The marble base includes a shallow recessed dish at the front, allowing the piece to function not only as a bookend but also as a desk accessory, ring dish, or catchall or decorative object. The contrast between the dark metal finish and light marble gives the object both visual weight and stability.

This piece aligns with early to mid-20th century Western-themed desk objects and decorative bookends, often produced in cast metal with applied bronze finishes rather than solid bronze.
