The hero's right hand and leg are thrust into the mountains, by this the author symbolizes that the Armenian land will always belong to the Armenians, that it will never be given to anyone, in the hero's other hand is a gun. Chaush appears to be a brave guard soldier looking at Mount Ararat. The author deliberately did not bring the sculpture to perfect processing, showing the image of a man who fought in the mountains and died in the mountains with the roughness of the stone.
