The goat stands with its legs slightly folded in, its massive body with stylized modeling to the musculature. The head has a long muzzle with a slightly open mouth, with a ring below the lower jaw, indented pellet eyes, short pointed ears and a tuft of hair projecting forward before the long, backward curving horns. Each side has a triangular perforation, and there is an open slit at the chest; the hollow interior contains loose balls that chime from movement. The goat is inserted into a separately-cast shaft ornamented vertically with running spirals and four projecting bud-shaped elements, two at the base and two near the top.

For a nearly identical goat on an anchor-shaped shaft, see the example from Artic in Shirak Province, Armenia, no. 26 in P. Avetisian, et al., Splendeurs de l'Arménie antique: Au pied du mont Ararat.
