The sculpture depicts a figure in a dynamic scene set in a woodland or forest. The central figure has long flowing hair and is adorned with various ornaments. The figure is partially clothed and holds a bow in one hand, with another object in the other hand. Surrounding the figure are trees, animals, and other natural elements. The sculpture is made of bronze, giving it a monochrome brownish hue with intricate textures and patterns. The relief sculpture conveys movement and action, with attention to detail, inviting viewers to imagine the scene in a mythological context.
