Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a man with a turban and a beard, wearing robes. One hand is raised to the chin, while the other rests across the body. The sculpture is made of wood, visible in its grain and color. It appears to be life-sized with a detailed and intricately carved appearance. The figure has a solemn expression, stands upright slightly leaning forward, and the garment's folds and details are clearly rendered.
