Black and white image of a sculpture. A large man figure with a long beard and hair wears traditional Asian clothing. He is muscular and his body is covered with detailed patterns and designs. The man figure holds a large object in his right hand with his arm bent at the elbow. The left arm is raised above his head; the leg on the same side is also raised. The man figure appears to be dancing. At his feet is a smaller creature or animal with a detailed design on its body facing the camera. Behind the man, another figure sits on his back, both hands raised. The sculpture stands on a dark base against a light background.
