On a hollow round moulded base with massive stone blocks as a ground, there is a sculptural image of an armed Bulgarian man lying in ambush. He is depicted in sharovary (wide trousers) with nogovitsy (leggings), in pointed-toe postoly (chuvyaki / leather shoes), and in a kopran (jacket) embroidered with braid; with wide sleeves, standing on a pile of stones, leaning his hand holding a pistol on his knee.
