To the left of the figure is a sword with a purple jewel in the hilt, piercing a piece of purple cloth to the pedestal. In the background are lightning bolts, one of which is connecting with the sword. To the right of the main image is the emblem of Omega Psi Phi. The frame is gold colored wood and there is a white and gold mount. There are metal hooks and a metal hanging wire on the back of the frame. There is a section of tape on the front of the frame with the text, "10-". On the back of the frame is a sticker for the First Impressions Gallery, Alexandria.
