The sculpture depicts the head of a smiling person with exaggerated facial features. The subject is wearing a large hat that appears to be of a soft, draping material, which is colored in a golden brown shade. The sculpture is crafted entirely in dark tones, with the skin of the figure rendered in a deep, almost black hue. Teeth are visibly shown as white, enhancing the lively expression. The sculpture is made of a hard material, with a smooth and polished surface texture. The size of the head suggests that it is slightly larger than life-sized.
