    A sculptural composition depicting an Arab in traditional attire riding a small donkey is set on an oval base with smooth plinth and a relief terrain The Arab’s long bare legs are thrust forward, as the donkey’s small stature does not allow them to hang down. He holds a stick in his right hand and the reins in his left.
