The sculpture depicts a roaring lion with its right front leg set forward on a base. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or a similar material. The entire image has a blue tone. The lion is positioned in front of a large, classical-style building with arched windows. Its detailed mane and powerful expression convey strength and majesty. The surrounding area includes wooden structures and scaffolding, suggesting construction activity.
