Cast in metal with a warm bronze-toned surface and applied verdigris accents, the figure features stylized tack, patterned saddle blanket, and a raised foreleg conveying controlled movement. The simplified musculature and graphic detailing align with Tang revival aesthetics rather than archaeological production.

Mounted on a black plinth base, the sculpture presents as a finished decorative object suited for display rather than scholarly attribution. Works of this type were produced as interpretive tributes to early Chinese imperial art and are widely collected for their visual impact and historical reference.
