The sculpture shows a standing human figure in a long robe with intricate details in primarily red and white, complemented by a white underlayer with designs. The figure has a beard and short, light-colored hair. The face is painted in natural skin tones with defined features. The sculpture seems to be crafted from carved wood and painted in various colors including red, white, earthly tones, and green.
