His hair is styled in a tall pompadour with a short ponytail draped over his shoulder. The man wears a cloth wrapped around his waist. His right leg is bent at the knee and rests on the ground, while his left leg is bent with the knee pointed towards the ground. His right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand raised to his mouth.
