The sculpture depicts a human figure in a dynamic pose, standing confidently with one hand resting on a tall staff. The person is dressed in a bright, multi-colored outfit that includes a tall white top hat, a yellow vest with black trim, a white shirt, and red pants. The figure also wears black shoes. The sculpture is positioned on a round gray base. The material appears to be smooth, and the colors are vivid. The figure is shown with a distinctive gesture, with one hand holding the staff and its body slightly leaning back. The sculpture is signed by Rex Bush.
