The sculpture depicts a human figure wearing a tall, triangular-shaped hat and a long coat with dark sleeves and a red pattern down the front, light-colored pants, and dark boots. The material appears to be wood, with a carved texture, standing on a circular base. The figure's pose is rigid and formal, with arms close to the sides.
