A bronze group on top of a four-stepped Aberdeen granite pedestal and two-stepped Aberdeen granite plinth. Additional half-steps at the two sides make the bronze relief name plaques easily accessible. The large bronze sculpture depicts an athletic male warrior leaning forward, plunging a sword, held in his right hand, into the jaws of one of two heavily muscular beasts at his feet. He wears a loin cloth and a form of cape attached around his shoulders and billowing behind. The beasts are dog-like, with exaggerated bone and muscular structures, sharp-clawed feet and sabre-like teeth. The warrior is defending a clutch of small children, also wearing loin cloths. Two stand on his right side, three on his left, and one behind, in varied poses. He holds the hand of one of the children with his left hand.
