On the right, the Perseus statue stands on a round pedestal. Only his leg and a hand holding a cutlass are seen. Cellini, with both hands raised in a gesture of joy and admiration, falls on his knees before him. He is bareheaded and wears a sixteenth century black doublet with a white collar. He has a sword at his side. In the background, behind the statue, is a tank. On the left, behind Cellini, is a group of workers who come to watch.
