The sculpture is made of a smooth, mostly black stone. It depicts a seal with its head near the base of the sculpture, its belly and front flippers on the base of the sculpture, and the tail and lower belly sticking right up into the air. The seal is rotund and blubbery as exemplified by the rolls on its upper body.
