The sculpture depicts a muscular man with a beard and long hair, sitting on the ground with his legs bent. He wears a cloth wrapped around his waist. His right arm rests on his right knee, while his left arm is raised, holding an object. The man is positioned centrally, with foliage on either side. He appears to be emerging from the foliage. The sculpture is yellow and appears to be made of metal. There are plants and leaves surrounding the man. The background of the image is gray. The title of the sculpture is "River God Appliqué" and it is by Henry Kellam Hancock.
