The sculpture depicts a Native American figure wearing a traditional headdress with feathers. The attire of the figure is colorful, featuring red on the upper garment, a green band, and brown sections on the lower half. The sculpture is made from material resembling wood. The figure stands with one arm across the body and the other by its side, positioned on a stacked, rectangular base. To the left and right of the main sculpture image, there are outline sketches of the same figure, providing two different views, one from the front and another from the back.
