The statue depicts a mounted figure, clad in heavy, textured armor, gripping a staff with a curved end. The horse, detailed with bridle and reins, stands alert, its head turned slightly to the left. The bronze surface shows signs of weathering, with patches of green patina contrasting against darker, more worn areas. The figure’s head is adorned with a turban-like headdress, and facial features are carved with deliberate clarity. The background is a clear, unblemished blue sky, offering a stark, neutral contrast that emphasizes the statue’s form. The lighting is even, casting soft shadows that define the contours of the sculpture. The composition suggests a moment of pause, as if the rider has just halted or is preparing to move. The overall impression is one of quiet endurance and historical presence.
