The sculpture is a tall figure resembling Uncle Sam, characterized by a top hat and suit with stripes on its pants. The statue appears to be made from a rigid material. In the photo, the statue stands upright, towering over a small, enclosed fenced area. The dark backdrop contrasts with the well-lit figure.
