The horse rests on all fours: it is stocky, with a rather small head, a prominent chest and well-shaped limbs. The wavy tail, forked at the end, engages vertically on the animal's rump. The head has small pointed ears, raised round eyes and an open mouth. The mane is rendered with wavy incisions on the neck and a raised triangular tuft between the ears. The body is hollow and has a rectangular hole under the belly. There are fusion gaps on the chest, belly and behind the legs.
