The sculpture depicts a caricatured figure of a man with exaggerated facial features, including a prominent smile showing wide-open red lips and large white teeth. The man is wearing a small tilted top hat, a green suit with red accents, a white shirt, and a red bow tie. He stands on a platform labeled "STUMP SPEAKER" in bold letters, with a bag or sack on the platform next to him. The figure appears to be a cast sculpture predominantly painted in dark brown for the skin tone, with vivid colors for the clothing. The sculpture has a playful and animated appearance. The box he stands on has a pinkish panel with a blue border and decorative elements at the corners. The overall look is reminiscent of vintage novelty items designed for entertainment or collectors.
