The sculpture depicts a standing figure of a person dressed in indigenous attire. The figure wears a headdress decorated with large feathers and a garment that resembles a tunic or cloak, extending down to the knees. The sculpture is primarily made of a metal material, possibly tin or bronze, suggested by its metallic sheen and coloration. The surface of the statue shows variations in color, likely due to patination, giving it a mix of earthy tones such as browns and greens. The figure is positioned on a rectangular base with inscriptions or engravings visible. The sculpture's base is mounted on small wheels. Its size relative to us seems to be larger than a tabletop sculpture but not full human scale, fitting more in an exhibition or display context.
