The sculpture features a man wearing a traditional outfit including a long layered garment and a hat with green feather-like embellishments. He has a mustache and a beard, and a serious facial expression. Around his neck, there is a necklace made of red and green beads, with a medallion hanging from it. In his right hand, he holds a cube-shaped object. The sculpture is primarily colored in shades of brown, with accents of red and green. The material appears smooth and polished, and it stands on a rectangular base. The sculpture is life-like and detailed, enhancing its appearance.
