The image depicts a white marble bust of a man with a long beard and hair. The man has a receding hairline and wavy hair on the sides. His beard is long and bushy, covering his chest. The bust shows the man from the chest up, with his shoulders and neck visible. The base of the bust is wide and flat, with the words "CHA L. ELLIOTT. N.A." carved into it. The background of the image is black, providing contrast to the white marble bust.
