Black and white photo of a sculpture of a smiling, portly, bald man with a large stomach. The man has a large head, small eyes, thick neck, and large ears. He has a mustache and a wide smile showing his teeth. He has one arm down by his side and the other bent at the elbow, hand near his stomach. He wears a cloth wrapped around his waist, and another draped over his shoulder and around his back. He has no shoes on. He appears to be holding a staff in the hand near his stomach. The background is plain light grey.
