The statue is a full-length portrait of General Ignacio Zaragoza that measures approximately 10ft tall. He wears trousers and a long military coat with epaulets which is belted with a sash at the waist. He holds a sword with his proper left hand. The bronze sculpture stands on a concrete base covered with stone tile and a plaque. The plaque reads as follows: 

“Mexicanos

Los hijos de esta generacion

Nacimos libres

Asi nos conservaremos

O moriremos en la demanda

— Ignacio Zaragoza”
