The sculpture depicts a stylized human figure in a seated position with folded arms. It is made of a dark material, likely wood, with a smooth surface texture. The figure has a simplified, elongated form with a rounded head, minimalist facial features, and a slender torso. The legs are bent at the knees and placed apart. The sculpture has exaggerated proportions typical of traditional or tribal art styles. In the background, there is a sketched outline of the sculpture with a scale in inches for size comparison.
