The face has a large nose, thick mustache, and a scowling expression. The border is made up of curved lines and shapes, resembling leaves or flowers. The metal is dark brown with some gold accents. The background of the image is light gray. The piece appears to be made of metal, possibly bronze or brass, and has a three-dimensional appearance. The overall design suggests an Asian influence.
