A life size statue of 'Hyperion', without bridle and with a highly-polished finish, set on a rectangular base on a stone pedestal. The work stands in a courtyard behind cast-iron railings with gates at either end and elegant lamps with crescent moons (found on the key-stone of 'Hyperion'). The supports are decorated with bronze heads of winged Mercury, reflecting the keystones above the three arches on the main façade.
