The sculpture depicts a human figure standing on a rectangular wooden base. The figure appears male with facial hair and defined muscles. It features red streaks across the body, visible ribs, and wears a green loincloth. The color scheme includes natural skin tones, a dark brown beard, and hair. The expression on the face is solemn with a downward gaze, and the arms are positioned forward with hands slightly apart.
