The sculpture shows a person in the act of bowling, positioned on the left side. The figure is captured mid-stride, with one leg slightly bent and the other extended behind. The individual holds a bowling ball in their right hand. They are wearing a hat. In front of the bowler, on the right side, stands a row of four bowling pins. Between the bowler and the pins, there is a rod with a spherical top. The sculpture is made of a material that gives it a rustic brown appearance and has a slightly textured surface. It is set against a plain background.
