    The sculpture depicts an Amazon on horseback. The rider sits half-turned, with one leg bent and resting along the horse’s flank and the other lowered on the opposite side. With one hand she holds the mane; the other arm is bent, with the hand positioned at her waist. Her head is turned to the side. She wears a short one-shoulder dress. The horse is shown in motion, with its head lowered and one foreleg raised. The composition is set on a tall rectangular base of green onyx with reddish veining.
