The object is a sculptural composition of a leopard attacking an antelope while an eagle appears to be swooping down, possibly engaging in the struggle or attacking the same prey. The leopard is depicted in a dynamic, aggressive posture, its mouth open as if roaring or biting, and its claws dug into the body of the antelope. The antelope is shown in a submissive, prone position, signifying its defeat or death. The eagle’s wings are outstretched, adding a sense of movement and drama to the scene.
