The horse is galloping with its weight on its back legs, stretched backward, its body and front legs raised up and forward, its head stretched forward with a slight turn to the left, with slightly open mouth. The mane continues over the head and the back of the neck, arranged in stylized locks. The harness over the head and the reins laid over the back of the neck. A panther skin laid on its back, as a saddle.
A decorative pillar supports the horse bellow the body, the front and back legs are joined by horizontal bars. The pillar and the back bar are mounted on a thin elongated base.

The horse is modeled in a lively posture of the galloping arched movement.  The elongated figure with the slim body and legs is modeled with attention to the minor details.

The style of the horse can be compared with the monumental statue of the horse and jockey of Artemission, 2nd century BC, Athens Museum, no. 15177.
