The sculpture depicts a figure resembling a Native American man with a feathered headdress, dressed in a tunic-like garment with yellow and black detailing, red leggings, holding a bundle of cigars or a sheaf of tobacco in one hand and a small wooden barrel in the other. The sculpture is carved from wood and painted realistically, standing on a rectangular pedestal.
