The sculpture depicts a human figure styled in traditional attire. He is dressed in a short, toga-like garment tied at the waist with a thick belt. The sculpture features intricate detailing in the fabric's folds. The figure stands on a rectangular base carved to look like wood and appears to be in mid-stride, with one foot positioned in front of the other. The man's hair is long and adorned with a colorful headdress featuring feathers. His right hand clasps an object, while his left arm rests by his side. The overall material of the sculpture seems to be wood, with hand-painted details in varying shades of brown, red, and yellow.
