Edward W. Buechner

The sculpture depicts a male figure with a muscular build standing upright and holding a large, oval basket in front of him. The basket has a bright yellow color and a woven pattern texture. The figure is cast in a dark material, likely bronze, and stands on a round base. The design features facial details and a strong stance. Next to the sculpture is a simple outline drawing replicating the sculpture's form.
