Description cast lead and painted. Figure of a soldier of The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles), riding a bicycle. He wears a dark green glengarry, dark green doublet with black waist belt, and dark green tartan trews with a white stripe.

The soldier is in a seated position, and can be balanced on top of the accompanying bicylce. The bicycle is a safety bicyle with a black frame and brown saddle. There is a front lamp attached to the handlebar upright, and a rifle is affixed to the right-hand side of the frame. The bicycle rests on a grey base for stability.
