The horse's body is richly decorated in vibrant cloisonné enamel on a deep red ground, featuring intricate, multi-colored floral motifs and scrolling vine patterns in shades of green, blue, white, and pink. It features applied gilt bronze details for its mane, tail, hooves, and facial features, and wears a decorative, patterned saddle blanket. The figure is mounted on a textured, gilt-bronze base modeled as swirling waves or clouds. The front of the base features an inscribed panel, and the underside of the base bears a cast seal mark. The piece exhibits a rich, aged patina with the enamel showing minor wear and the gilding displaying a warm luster.
