The sculpture depicts a male figure standing on a square pedestal base with small wheels at the corners. The man is wearing a headdress adorned with blue and white feathers and a short skirt made of similar colored materials. He is shirtless, revealing a muscular build, holding a small object in his right hand and looking at it. The sculpture is crafted with a medium that appears to emulate brown skin tones, potentially wood or stone painted. The base has a bluish hue contrasting with the brown of the figure. The figure stands upright, with a slightly bent left leg, suggesting motion or intention.
